From 9861a62c335cd34a2b6b25aaaf5898e8370299ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2016 16:57:53 -0700 Subject: mm, compaction: create compact_gap wrapper Compaction uses a watermark gap of (2UL << order) pages at various places and it's not immediately obvious why. Abstract it through a compact_gap() wrapper to create a single place with a thorough explanation.
