[PATCH 05/40] mm: emergency pool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Provide means to reserve a specific amount of pages.

The emergency pool is separated from the min watermark because ALLOC_HARDER
and ALLOC_HIGH modify the watermark in a relative way and thus do not ensure
a strict minimum.
