From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 23:52:11 +0000 (+1000) Subject: mm: memcontrol: factor out reclaim iterator loading and updating X-Git-Tag: next-20130628~3^2~429 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e7738f975885b5900090bd644a29b7ec08cc83a;p=karo-tx-linux.git mm: memcontrol: factor out reclaim iterator loading and updating mem_cgroup_iter() is too hard to follow. Factor out the lockless reclaim iterator loading and updating so it's easier to follow the big picture. Also document the iterator invalidation mechanism a bit more extensively.
