Subject[PATCH v2 18/18] mm, vmscan: use proper classzone_idx in should_continue_reclaim()
Date
The should_continue_reclaim() function decides during direct reclaim/compaction
whether shrink_zone() should continue reclaming, or whether compaction is ready
to proceed in that zone. This relies mainly on the compaction_suitable() check,
but by passing a zero classzone_idx, there can be false positives and reclaim
terminates prematurely. Fix this by passing proper classzone_idx.

Additionally, the function checks whether (2UL << pages) were reclaimed. This
however overlaps with the same gap used by compaction_suitable(), and since the
number sc->nr_reclaimed is accumulated over all reclaimed zones, it doesn't
make much sense for deciding about a given single zone anyway. So just drop
this code.
