The patch titled memory page alloc minor cleanups has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memory-page-alloc-minor-cleanups.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: memory page alloc minor cleanups From: Paul Jackson <pj@xxxxxxx> - s/freeliest/freelist/ spelling fix - Check for NULL *z zone seems useless - even if it could happen, so what? Perhaps we should have a check later on if we are faced with an allocation request that is not allowed to fail - shouldn't that be a serious kernel error, passing an empty zonelist with a mandate to not fail? - Initializing 'z' to zonelist->zones can wait until after the first get_page_from_freelist() fails; we only use 'z' in the wakeup_kswapd() loop, so let's initialize 'z' there, in a 'for' loop. Seems clearer. - Remove superfluous braces around a break - Fix a couple errant spaces - Adjust indentation on the cpuset_zone_allowed() check, to match the lines just before it -- seems easier to read in this case. - Add another set of braces to the zone_watermark_ok logic Backout one item from a previous "memory page_alloc minor cleanups" patch. Until and unless we are certain that no one can ever pass an empty zonelist to __alloc_pages(), this check for an empty zonelist (or some BUG equivalent) is essential. The code in get_page_from_freelist() blow ups if passed an empty zonelist.
