mm: dirty balancing for tasks

[linux.git] / mm / quicklist.c

/*
 * Quicklist support.
 *
 * Quicklists are light weight lists of pages that have a defined state
 * on alloc and free. Pages must be in the quicklist specific defined state
 * (zero by default) when the page is freed. It seems that the initial idea
 * for such lists first came from Dave Miller and then various other people
 * improved on it.
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2007 SGI,
 * 	Christoph Lameter <[email protected]>
 * 		Generalized, added support for multiple lists and
 * 		constructors / destructors.
