We've been futzing with the scan rates of the inactive and active lists far too much, and it's still not right (Anton reports interrupt-off times of over a second). - We have this logic in there from 2.4.early (at least) which tries to keep the inactive list 1/3rd the size of the active list. Or something. I really cannot see any logic behind this, so toss it out and change the arithmetic in there so that all pages on both lists have equal scan rates. - Chunk the work up so we never hold interrupts off for more that 32 pages worth of scanning. - Make the per-zone scan-count accumulators unsigned long rather than atomic_t. Mainly because atomic_t's could conceivably overflow, but also because access to these counters is racy-by-design anyway.
