[PATCHv2 2/3] ext4: allocate buffer-cache for superblock in non-movable area

From: Gioh Kim
Date: Tue Aug 19 2014 - 02:53:29 EST



A buffer-cache for superblock is disturbing page migration,
because the buffer-cache is not released until unmount.
The buffer-cache must be allocated from non-movable area.
