[patch v2 2/3] mm: page_alloc: rearrange watermark checking in get_page_from_freelist

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

Allocations that do not have to respect the watermarks are rare
high-priority events.  Reorder the code such that per-zone dirty
limits and future checks important only to regular page allocations
are ignored in these extraordinary situations.
