| |
Throttle VM writeout in a cpuset aware way
This bases the vm throttling from the reclaim path on the dirty ratio of the cpuset. Note that a cpuset is only effective if shrink_zone is called from direct reclaim.
kswapd has a cpuset context that includes the whole machine and will therefore not throttle unless global limits are reached.
