From 69c854817566db82c362797b4a6521d0b00fe1d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MinChan Kim Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:32:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: prevent shrinking of active anon lru list in case of no swap space V3 shrink_zone() can deactivate active anon pages even if we don't have a swap device. Many embedded products don't have a swap device. So the deactivation of anon pages is unnecessary. This patch prevents unnecessary deactivation of anon lru pages. But, it don't prevent aging of anon pages to swap out.
