Subject: [PATCH v1 21/23] mm: rename CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION to CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:00:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021150040.498160-5-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251021150040.498160-1-david@redhat.com>
While compaction depends on migration, the other direction is not the
case. So let's make it clearer that this is all about migration of
balloon pages.
Adjust all comments/docs in the core to talk about "migration" instead
of "compaction".
While at it add some "/* CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION */".
