[27/37] compound pages: Allow use of get_page_unless_zero with compound pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This will be needed by targeted slab reclaim in order to ensure that a
compound page allocated by SLUB will not go away under us.

It also may be needed if Mel starts to implement defragmentation. The
moving of compound pages may require the establishment of a reference
before the use of page migration functions.
