Subject: Do not block align PFN when looking up the pageblock PFN
From: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx>
The pageblock flags store bits representing a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of
pages. When calling get_pageblock_bitmap(), a non-aligned PFN is passed which
is then aligned to the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block. This alignment is
unnecessary.
This patch should be considered a fix to the patch
add-a-bitmap-that-is-used-to-track-flags-affecting-a-block-of-pages.patch .
