Hi
on X86, ZONE_DMA is very very small.
It is often no used at all.
Unfortunately,
when NR_ACTIVE==0, NR_INACTIVE==0, shrink_zone() try to reclaim 1 page.
because
zone->nr_scan_active +=
(zone_page_state(zone, NR_ACTIVE) >> priority) + 1;
^^^^^
it cause unnecessary spent cpu time.
In addition, to a bad thing
when NR_ACTIVE==0 and NR_INACTIVE==0, zone_is_near_oom always true.
bacause 0 >= 0+0 is true.
the effect of this strange behavior is very small.
but it confuse to the VM newbie developer (= me) ;-)
