-Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: mm: Disable watermark boosting by default
-
-What watermark boosting does is preemptively fire up kswapd to free
-memory when there hasn't been an allocation failure. It does this by
-increasing kswapd's high watermark goal and then firing up kswapd. The
-reason why this causes freezes is because, with the increased high
-watermark goal, kswapd will steal memory from processes that need it in
-order to make forward progress. These processes will, in turn, try to
-allocate memory again, which will cause kswapd to steal necessary pages
-from those processes again, in a positive feedback loop known as page
-thrashing. When page thrashing occurs, your system is essentially
-livelocked until the necessary forward progress can be made to stop
-processes from trying to continuously allocate memory and trigger
-kswapd to steal it back.
-
-This problem already occurs with kswapd *without* watermark boosting,
-but it's usually only encountered on machines with a small amount of
-memory and/or a slow CPU. Watermark boosting just makes the existing
-problem worse enough to notice on higher spec'd machines.
-
-Disable watermark boosting by default since it's a total dumpster fire.
-I can't imagine why anyone would want to explicitly enable it, but the
-option is there in case someone does.
