Anton Blanchard 27f10907b7 powerpc/numa: Set a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE to enable zone reclaim
I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets
enabled via this:

        /*
         * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better
         * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node.
         */
        if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE)
                zone_reclaim_mode = 1;

Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for
RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in.

The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p
machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before
going off node.

The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables
zone reclaim.
