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

From: Gioh Kim
Date: Thu Aug 14 2014 - 01:16:49 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.
