28  * averaging the ratio for medium/critical levels. Using small window
29  * sizes can cause lot of false positives, but too big window size will
30  * delay the notifications.
31  *
32  * As the vmscan reclaimer logic works with chunks which are multiple of

64  * critical level when scanning depth is ~10% of the lru size (vmscan
65  * scans 'lru_size >> prio' pages, so it is actually 12.5%, or one
