We don't have node hotplug that can suddenly introduce additional zones from which to reclaim. My point was that there doesn't appear to be any use case for tuning this via a sysctl that isn't simply attempting to workaround some other reclaim problem when the VM is stressed. If that's agreed upon, then deciding between a config option that is either per-cpu or per-node should be based on the benchmarks that you've run. At this time, it appears that per-node is the more advantageous. That seems to indicate that the NUMA topology is more important than lock contention for the reclaim throttle. David --
