From b3c466ce512923298ae8c0121d3e9f397a3f1210 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:31:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] page allocator: do not sanity check order in the fast path No user of the allocator API should be passing in an order >= MAX_ORDER but we check for it on each and every allocation. Delete this check and make it a VM_BUG_ON check further down the call path.
