Message-ID: <20130327060141.GA23703@longonot.mountain> (raw)

Hello Mel Gorman,

The patch 290d1a3ce0ec: "mm: page_alloc: avoid marking zones full 
prematurely after zone_reclaim()" from Mar 23, 2013, leads to the 
following warning:
"mm/page_alloc.c:1957 get_page_from_freelist()
	 warn: bitwise AND condition is false here"

This is zero.
