From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2016 00:00:34 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm, compaction: restrict full priority to non-costly orders X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2033b00dbe856909fcaccf038e4e0d3dcfb85af;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm, compaction: restrict full priority to non-costly orders The new ultimate compaction priority disables some heuristics, which may result in excessive cost. This is fine for non-costly orders where we want to try hard before resulting for OOM, but might be disruptive for costly orders which do not trigger OOM and should generally have some fallback. Thus, we disable the full priority for costly orders.
