The patch titled
Subject: mm: page_alloc: refactor setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_alloc-refactor-setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: page_alloc: refactor setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve()
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() iterates through each zone setting
zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = 0 (where j is the zone's index) then iterates
backwards through all preceding zones, setting
lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = sum(managed pages of higher zones) /
lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] for each (where idx is the lower zone's index).
If the lower zone has no managed pages or its ratio is 0 then all of its
lowmem_reserve[] entries are effectively zeroed.
As these arrays are only assigned here and all lowmem_reserve[] entries
for index < this zone's index are implicitly assumed to be 0 (as these are
specifically output in show_free_areas() and zoneinfo_show_print() for
example) there is no need to additionally zero index == this zone's index
too. This patch avoids zeroing unnecessarily.
Rather than iterating through zones and setting lowmem_reserve[j] for each
lower zone this patch reverse the process and populates each zone's
lowmem_reserve[] values in ascending order.
This clarifies what is going on especially in the case of zero managed
pages or ratio which is now explicitly shown to clear these values.
