From a269cca9926faf8e44b340b017be0d884203141b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:17:44 -0700 Subject: mm: remove !NUMA condition from PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED condition set CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED disables a trick to conserve pageflags. This trick is indended to be enabled when the pressure on page flags is very high. The previous condition was: - depends on 64BIT || SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP || !NUMA || !SPARSEMEM ... however, the sparsemem code already has a way to crowd out the node number from the pageflags, which means that !NUMA actually doesn't contribute to hard pageflags exhaustion. This is required for the new PG_uncached flag to not cause pageflags exhaustion on x86_32 + PAE + SPARSEMEM + !NUMA. Signed-off-by: H.
