    mm: vmscan: immediately reclaim end-of-LRU dirty pages when writeback completes · 49ea7eb6
    Mel Gorman authored
    When direct reclaim encounters a dirty page, it gets recycled around the
    LRU for another cycle.  This patch marks the page PageReclaim similar to
    deactivate_page() so that the page gets reclaimed almost immediately after
    the page gets cleaned.  This is to avoid reclaiming clean pages that are
    younger than a dirty page encountered at the end of the LRU that might
    have been something like a use-once page.
