We have one lruvec per memcg per zone, so consider memory cgroups in a NUMA environment: NR_MEMCG * (NR_NODES - 1) * NR_LRU_LISTS permanently empty lruvecs, assuming the memory of one cgroup is bound to one node. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
