From b608b283a962caaa280756bc8563016a71712acf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:31:54 -0400 Subject: NFS: kswapd must not block in nfs_release_page See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16056 If other processes are blocked waiting for kswapd to free up some memory so that they can make progress, then we cannot allow kswapd to block on those processes.
