[PATCH 2/2] mm: consider per-zone inactive ratio to deactivate

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Jul 19 2016 - 11:50:38 EST


With per-zone lru stat, we could know normal zone has 86M anonymous
memory but OOM happend with non-atomic order-0 allocation. And most of
anonymous pages in normal zone are on active list.

The problem was current deactivation logic(i.e., inactive_list_is_low).

Node 0 active_anon:404412kB inactive_anon:409040kB

IOW, (inactive_anon of node * inactive_ratio > active_anon of node) due
to highmem anonymous stat so VM never deactivates normal zone's
anonymous pages.

This patch makes inactive_list_is_low be aware of per-zone inactive raio
so if requested zone or lower zones's LRU list cannot meet the ratio, VM
start to deactivate pages.
