From 47f43e7efadacc627f325aba64c6a547de0926db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:37:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HWPOISON: Stop shrinking at right page count When we call the slab shrinker to free a page we need to stop at page count one because the caller always holds a single reference, not zero. This avoids useless looping over slab shrinkers and freeing too much memory.
