From e6cbd7f2efb433d717af72aa8510a9db6f7a7e05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:46:50 -0700 Subject: mm, page_alloc: remove fair zone allocation policy The fair zone allocation policy interleaves allocation requests between zones to avoid an age inversion problem whereby new pages are reclaimed to balance a zone. Reclaim is now node-based so this should no longer be an issue and the fair zone allocation policy is not free. This patch removes it.
