[PATCH] vmscan: skip reclaim_mapped determination if we do not swap
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This puts the variables and the way to get to reclaim_mapped in one block.
And allows zone_reclaim or other things to skip the determination (maybe
this whole block of code does not belong into refill_inactive_zone()?)
