From 061e97469f46f924cf14bbf1dd4805b46986691a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: OGAWA Hirofumi Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:16:28 -0700 Subject: Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to cont_expand_zero() On the systems, ftruncate() which expand size for FAT became the cause of OOM. The cont_expand_zero() filled all memory with dirty pages, and since disk is very slow, limit of page scanning was exceeded, then it triggered OOM. This adds balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to avoid filling memory with dirty pages.
