Subject: [PATCH 1/6] mm: compaction: Update comment in try_to_compact_pages
Date: Tue,  7 Aug 2012 13:31:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344342677-5845-2-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344342677-5845-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>

The comment about order applied when the check was
order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER which has not been the case since
[c5a73c3d: thp: use compaction for all allocation orders]. Fixing
the comment while I'm in the general area.
