From c5d01d0d18e2ab7a21f0371b00e4d1a06f79cdf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 16:56:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, compaction: simplify __alloc_pages_direct_compact feedback interface __alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two variables: - deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned COMPACT_DEFERRED - contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks __alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to prevent from long stalls. This is rather messy and it would be much cleaner to return a single compact result value and hide all the nasty details into __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.
