[PATCH 64 of 66] scale nr_rotated to balance memory pressure

From: Andrea Arcangeli
Date: Wed Nov 03 2010 - 11:32:46 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

Make sure we scale up nr_rotated when we encounter a referenced
transparent huge page. This ensures pageout scanning balance
is not distorted when there are huge pages on the LRU.
