[PATCH v3 3/7] mm/compaction: initialize compact_order_failed to MAX_ORDER

Show all headers | View raw

If compact_order_failed is initialized to 0 and order-9
compaction is continually failed, defer counter will be updated
to activate deferring. Although other defer counters will be properly
updated, compact_order_failed will not be updated because failed order
cannot be lower than compact_order_failed, 0. In this case,
low order compaction such as 2, 3 could be deferred due to
this wrongly initialized compact_order_failed value. This patch
removes this possibility by initializing it to MAX_ORDER.
