[PATCHv2 3/3] jbd/jbd2: allocate buffer-cache for superblock inode in non-movable area

From: Gioh Kim
Date: Tue Aug 19 2014 - 02:54:25 EST



A long-lasting buffer-cache can distrub page migration so that
it must be allocated from non-movable area.

The journal_init_inode is creating a buffer-cache for superblock journaling.
The superblock exists until system shutdown so that the buffer-cache
for the superblock would also exist for a long time
and it can distrub page migration.

This patch make the buffer-cache be allocated from non-movable area
not to distrub page migration.
