Subject: [PATCH RFC] mm: do not start node_reclaim for page order > MAX_ORDER
Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2018 20:37:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <154109387197.925352.10499549042420271600.stgit@buzz> (raw)

Page allocator has check in __alloc_pages_slowpath() but nowdays
there is earlier entry point into reclimer without such check:
get_page_from_freelist() -> node_reclaim().
