vmscan: set up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_inactive_list()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
shrink_inactive_list() sets up a pagevec to release unfreeable pages.  It
uses significant amounts of stack doing this.  This patch splits
shrink_inactive_list() to take the stack usage out of the main path so
that callers to writepage() do not contain an unused pagevec on the stack.
