Subject[PATCH RFC] mm: reset pages_scanned only when free pages are above high watermark
From
Date
Technically, this counter works as OOM-countdown. Let's reset it only
when zone is completely recovered and ready to handle any allocations.
Otherwise system could never recover and stuck in livelock.
