The !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is static inline that returns COMPACT_CONTINUE, which is defined in compaction.h. Another solution is to add a "forward" declaration (not actually followed later by a full definition) of struct alloc_context into compaction.h. Seems to work here, but I'm not sure if such thing is allowed? >> I pity the poor schmuck who has to maintain this patchset for 2 months. >> [2/4] already throws a large pile of rejects against page_alloc.c so >> can you please refresh/retest/resend? > > Right :) > > Vlastimil > > > -- > To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in > the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
