That comment managed to bitrot a bit :( The first version of these had the drain before pageout() only. Then, Mel added a congestion_wait() call, and I modified the series to also drain there. But, some other patches took the congestion_wait() back out, so I took that drain back out. I _believe_ the only congestion_wait() left in there is a cgroup-related one that we didn't think would cause very much harm. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
