    [PATCH] Move unreleasable pages onto the active list · 1c0f3462
    Andrew Morton authored
    With some workloads a large number of pages coming off the LRU are
    pinned blockdev pagecache - things like ext2 group descriptors, pages
    which have buffers in the per-cpu buffer LRUs, etc.
    
    They keep churning around the inactive list, reducing the overall page
    reclaim effectiveness.
    
    So move these pages onto the active list.
