[PATCH 1/6] mm/page_alloc: Rename ALLOC_HIGH to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE

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

 



__GFP_HIGH aliases to ALLOC_HIGH but the name does not really hint
what it means. As ALLOC_HIGH is internal to the allocator, rename
it to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE to document that the min reserves can
be depleted.
