In some transitional cases, the migratetype associated with a page can differ from the migratetype associated with the pageblock the page is in. As such, I think it's confusing to add =E2=80=9Cpageblock=E2=80=9D to the name= of the function which does not read migratetype from pageblock but rather operates on the number it is provided. > I admit mt is really dirty but I used page_alloc.c already has lots of > mt, SIGH. I don't really have an issue with =E2=80=9Cmt=E2=80=9D myself, especially s= ince the few times =E2=80=9Cmt=E2=80=9D is used in page_alloc.c it is a local variable w= hich I don't think needs a long descriptive name since context is all there. > How about this? > > 1.

Like I've said. Personally I don't really think 1 is needed, but 2 and 3 look good to me. --=20 Best regards, _ _ .o. | Liege of Serenely Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=3D./ `o ..o | Computer Science, Micha=C5=82 =E2=80=9Cmina86=E2=80=9D Nazarewicz = (o o) ooo +------------------ooO--(_)--Ooo-- --=-=-= Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="==-=-="; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature" --==-=-= Content-Type: text/plain --==-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQ1FofAAoJECBgQBJQdR/0jiIP/jrryaTKAjAoBj4jyX7qtFXi utw9C5umaqLKIQOmErQSAwHdIbyrwnqPnITXKvOjV2oLUTScJ4idlbVWvxogvCub BSlVyw3/IARt14F2NEN8PkTib4EJNAOHPDIirVn/UId10Dy4u4iPKE4KXkNqtAEE juM+s8GMt4gFsZ25b3QbvBFlsn4PNKap629KLZ1J3yvdq+Gp1ldWJKnZyKHtsIsy UkzurFKX+qJYK8dUoDaFnkgcMInaZFhf7GRe9L6FIdRcUECBoDdzX6cnCJnn+ru8 XBBczIv0N/WXhw4NA7uTX+Jn8dSY0LDjYiKoDjdaDgG4SFtS5FspexCMCH2uVnIl bEOqj+9K9tiCgfvcc4d0xV7IFFvu+6UnDuA9/ktKhX+zSGcjOwJAT5v/b2scuR5d PalqlvS8PTVByjhjm1g33e4EMyBu6wBe3QrGav0/8qcWkEuf73lWtOF4Rok9yy/s +/SvO4FljTKRpqNu2eJMHh6Qhw3YQDAI4lnvCgAohwPadUxrA8T36gbseEXdzv1Z NQP/ipgNkEM0MrZAMtIpqq5jczeJTClzY1XoE4d3+iOwmbRoEpVeqbMRj5rixkIA BgA384AjldkI+Esbsn+G6IXhu9XSM7SPfFBssPXYPa2GsHOBQ1V0zBWJ2+lrvRoI 1SMUcvpOSsuttlRbrjlA =h6PU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==-=-=-- --=-=-=-- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
