[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/page_alloc: use a single function to free page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We have multiple places of freeing a page, most of them doing similar
things and a common function can be used to reduce code duplicate.

It also avoids bug fixed in one function but left in another.
