[PATCH V2] mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand -fix

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

 



There is a redundant check and a memory leak introduced by a patch in
mmotm. This patch removes an unlikely(order) check as we are sure order
is not zero at the time. It also checks if a page is already allocated
to avoid a memory leak.

This is a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-page_alloc-reserve-pageblocks-for-high-order-atomic-allocations-on-demand.patch
