X-Git-Tag: next-20130220~1^2~587
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6876e541aa20cc9e9ba2bfc9561a5621a98af578;p=karo-tx-linux.git

mm: vmscan: clean up get_scan_count()

Reclaim pressure balance between anon and file pages is calculated through
a tuple of numerators and a shared denominator.

Exceptional cases that want to force-scan anon or file pages configure the
numerators and denominator such that one list is preferred, which is not
necessarily the most obvious way:

    fraction[0] = 1;
    fraction[1] = 0;
    denominator = 1;
    goto out;

Make this easier by making the force-scan cases explicit and use the
fractionals only in case they are calculated from reclaim history.
