- * pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is the highest zone index that a recent

- * was recently woke for.
+ * The pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is used to pass the highest zone index to be

+ * a valid index then either kswapd runs for first time or kswapd couldn't sleep
+ * after previous reclaim attempt (node is still unbalanced). In that case
+ * return the zone index of the previous kswapd reclaim cycle.
