The buffer_heads_over_limit limit in kswapd is inconsistent with direct reclaim behaviour. It may force an an attempt to reclaim from all zones and then not reclaim at all because higher zones were balanced than required by the original request. This patch will causes kswapd to consider reclaiming from all zones if buffer_heads_over_limit. However, if there are eligible zones for the allocation request that woke kswapd then no reclaim will occur even if buffer_heads_over_limit. This avoids kswapd over-reclaiming just because buffer_heads_over_limit.
