From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vmscan: replace implicit RECLAIM_ZONE checks with explicit checks RECLAIM_ZONE was assumed to be unused because it was never explicitly used in the kernel. However, there were a number of places where it was checked implicitly by checking 'node_reclaim_mode' for a zero value. These zero checks are not great because it is not obvious what a zero mode *means* in the code. Replace them with a helper which makes it more obvious: node_reclaim_enabled(). This helper also provides a handy place to explicitly check the RECLAIM_ZONE bit itself. Check it explicitly there to make it more obvious where the bit can affect behavior. This should have no functional impact.
