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

  67  * critical level when scanning depth is ~10% of the lru size (vmscan
  68  * scans 'lru_size >> prio' pages, so it is actually 12.5%, or one
  69  * eights).
