[RFC PATCH 07/26] mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator

Johannes Weiner
2023-04-18T19:14:25Z

Compaction capturing is really a component of the page allocator.
Later patches will also disconnect allocation request size from the
compaction size, so move the setup of the capturing parameters to the
"request domain", i.e. the page allocator. No functional change.
