Subject: [PATCH 1/6] mm/page_alloc: Rename ALLOC_HIGH to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 15:16:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221129151701.23261-2-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221129151701.23261-1-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
__GFP_HIGH aliases to ALLOC_HIGH but the name does not really hint
what it means. As ALLOC_HIGH is internal to the allocator, rename
it to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE to document that the min reserves can
be depleted.
