Subject: mm: use alloc_pages_exact() in alloc_large_system_hash() to avoid duplicated logic
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a1dd268cf6306565a31a48deff8bf4f6b4b105f7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

mm: use alloc_pages_exact() in alloc_large_system_hash() to avoid duplicated logic

alloc_large_system_hash() has logic for freeing pages at the end of an
excessively large power-of-two buffer that is a duplicate of what is in
alloc_pages_exact().  This patch converts alloc_large_system_hash() to use
alloc_pages_exact().
