| |
In previous implementation, mem_cgroup_try_charge checked the return value of mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages, and just retried if some pages had been reclaimed. But now, try_charge(and mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim called from it) only checks whether the usage is less than the limit.
This patch tries to change the behavior as before to cause oom less frequently.
ChangeLog: RFC->v1 - removed RETRIES_MAX.
