From c81758fbe0fdbbc0c74b37798f55bd9c91d5c068 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:16:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction.c: fix deferring compaction mistake Commit aff622495c9a ("vmscan: only defer compaction for failed order and higher") fixed bad deferring policy but made mistake about checking compact_order_failed in __compact_pgdat(). So it can't update compact_order_failed with the new order. This ends up preventing correct operation of policy deferral. This patch fixes it.
