[patch 155/200] mm/page_isolation: do not isolate the max order page

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

Subject: mm/page_isolation: do not isolate the max order page

A max order page has no buddy page and never merges to another order.  So
isolating and then freeing it is pointless.
