Thanks very much for catching this! Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgor...@techsingularity.net> With your current subject and changelog, there is a small risk that Andrew will miss this or not see it for some time. Would you mind resending the patch with a changelog similar to this please? It spells out that it is a fix to an mmotm patch so it'll be obvious where it should be inserted before merging to mainline. From: yalin wang <yalin.wang2...@gmail.com> Subject: [PATCH] mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand -fix There is a redundant check and a memory leak introduced by a patch in mmotm. This patch removes an unlikely(order) check as we are sure order is not zero at the time. It also checks if a page is already allocated to avoid a memory leak. This is a fix to the mmotm patch mm-page_alloc-reserve-pageblocks-for-high-order-atomic-allocations-on-demand.patch Signed-off-by: yalin wang <yalin.wang2...@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgor...@techsingularity.net> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
