[PATCH 10/27] mm, vmscan: Remove duplicate logic clearing node congestion and dirty state

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Tue Jun 21 2016 - 10:18:37 EST


Reclaim may stall if there is too much dirty or congested data on a node.
This was previously based on zone flags and the logic for clearing the
flags is in two places. As congestion/dirty tracking is now tracked on
a per-node basis, we can remove some duplicate logic.
