[patch 3/4] mm: vmscan: remove all_unreclaimable()

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Fri Jun 20 2014 - 12:34:12 EST


Direct reclaim currently calls shrink_zones() to reclaim all members
of a zonelist, and if that wasn't successful it does another pass
through the same zonelist to check overall reclaimability.

Just check reclaimability in shrink_zones() directly and propagate the
result through the return value. Then remove all_unreclaimable().
