Subject: [PATCH 1/2] introduce HIGH_ORDER delineating easily reclaimable orders cleanups
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 18:10:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d8d5c9ade92fe4d96b08e9cd4554fa7b@pinky> (raw)
In-Reply-To: exportbomb.1177520981@pinky


Switch from HIGH_ORDER to the more logical and descriptive
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER indicating the boundary between orders
easily reclaimed and allocated and those which are not.
