Subject: thp: use compaction for all allocation orders
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c5a73c3d55be1faadba35b41a862e036a3b12ddb;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

thp: use compaction for all allocation orders

It makes no sense not to enable compaction for small order pages as we
don't want to end up with bad order 2 allocations and good and graceful
order 9 allocations.
