[RFC 2/3] mm: remain migratetype in freed page

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

 



Page allocator doesn't keep migratetype information to page
when the page is freed. This patch remains the information
to freed page's index field which isn't used by free/alloc
preparing so it shouldn't change any behavir except below one.

This patch adds a new call site in __free_pages_ok so it might be
overhead a bit but it's for high order allocation.
So I believe damage isn't hurt.
