From 97ee4ba7cbd30f1858f0d16911e042737c53f2ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 15:28:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: page_alloc: Make paranoid check in move_freepages a VM_BUG_ON Since 2.6.24 there has been a paranoid check in move_freepages that looks up the zone of two pages. This is a very slow path and the only time I've seen this bug trigger recently is when memory initialisation was broken during patch development. Despite the fact it's a slow path, this patch converts the check to a VM_BUG_ON anyway as it has served its purpose by now.
