[PATCH 20/27] mm, vmscan: Update classzone_idx if buffer_heads_over_limit

Show all headers | View raw

If buffer heads are over the limit then the direct reclaim gfp_mask
is promoted to __GFP_HIGHMEM so that lowmem is indirectly freed. With
node-based reclaim, it is also required that the classzone_idx be updated
or the pages will be skipped.
