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. [vbabka@suse.cz: clarify the comment of compact_gap()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7b6aed1f-fdf8-2063-9ff4-bbe4de712d37@suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160810091226.6709-9-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Tested-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
