mm/page_alloc.c: clean up check_for_memory()
check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this:
if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
return;
Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to
N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other
way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will
never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it.
Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as
well.
We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in
case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <=
ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set
N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally)
Although this works, it is a bit subtle.
I think that this could be easier to follow:
First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL,
without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.
