[PATCH v1 1/2] mm/page_alloc: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating pages via alloc_contig*()

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

 



We'll migrate pages allocated by other contexts; respecting the cpuset of
the alloc_contig*() caller when allocating a migration target does not
make sense.

Drop the __GFP_HARDWALL.

Note that in an ideal world, migration code could figure out the cpuset
of the original context and take that into consideration.
