[RFC PATCH 19/26] mm: compaction: drop redundant watermark check in compaction_zonelist_suitable()

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

 



should_compact_retry() is called after direct reclaim and compaction
have failed to produce a page, to check if there is still enough
compactable memory to warrant continuing. If there aren't, one last
attempt at the freelists happens in __alloc_pages_may_oom(). The
watermark check in should_compact_retry() is not necessary. Kill it.
