Subject: [PATCH 04/31] mm: tag reseve pages
|
|
|
|
Patch-mainline: not yet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tag pages allocated from the reserves with a non-zero page->reserve.
|
|
|
|
This allows us to distinguish and account reserve pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since low-memory situations are transient, and unrelated the the actual
|
|
|
|
page (any page can be on the freelist when we run low), don't mark the
|
|
|
|
page in any permanent way - just pass along the information to the
|
|
|
|
allocatee.
