Subject: [PATCH 4/7] mm/page_alloc: Remove mistaken page == NULL check in rmqueue
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2022 13:54:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220624125423.6126-5-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220624125423.6126-1-mgorman@techsingularity.net>

If a page allocation fails, the ZONE_BOOSTER_WATERMARK should be tested,
cleared and kswapd woken whether the allocation attempt was via the PCP
or directly via the buddy list.

Remove the page == NULL so the ZONE_BOOSTED_WATERMARK bit is checked
unconditionally. As it is unlikely that ZONE_BOOSTED_WATERMARK is set,
mark the branch accordingly.
