  28 * averaging the ratio for medium/critical levels. Using small window
  29 * sizes can cause lot of false positives, but too big window size will
  30 * delay the notifications.
  31 *
  32 * As the vmscan reclaimer logic works with chunks which are multiple of
  33 * SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it makes sense to use it for the window size as well.
  34 *

  55 * The vmscan logic considers these special priorities:

  57 * prio == DEF_PRIORITY (12): reclaimer starts with that value
  58 * prio <= DEF_PRIORITY - 2 : kswapd becomes somewhat overwhelmed

  62 * 0). Current value for the vmpressure_level_critical_prio is chosen
  63 * empirically, but the number, in essence, means that we consider
  64 * critical level when scanning depth is ~10% of the lru size (vmscan
  65 * scans 'lru_size >> prio' pages, so it is actually 12.5%, or one
  66 * eights).
