The force flag > was misleading anyway. Kinda. It had the effect of skipping the needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, we know the unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines up. But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another flag just to skip them. But I guess this should be mentioned in the changelog. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
