From 030585452e07d6642b60ed157b637fa905926fb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:33:51 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left" This reverts commit 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left") and commit de74f1cc ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start near a pageblock with free pages"). These patches were a good idea and tests confirmed that they massively reduced the amount of scanning but the implementation is complex and tricky to understand. A later patch will cache what pageblocks should be skipped and reimplements the concept of compact_cached_free_pfn on top for both migration and free scanners.
