I think your recent attempt to improve the comment: /* * Check whether unreclaimable slabs amount is greater than all user * memory(LRU pages). */ was actually somewhat useful, and worth retaining. It would be better if it explained *why* we're doing this, rather than simply "what we are doing"? <looks at the code> It's actually quite unobvious why we're doing this!
