Subject: Re: [PATCH rc5-mm1 3/3] do_try_to_free_pages gfp_mask redundant

On (11/03/08 21:16), Hugh Dickins didst pronounce:
> do_try_to_free_pages is taking both a gfp_mask and an sc->gfp_mask,
> sometimes one used and sometimes the other; at present they're always
> identical, but such duplication begs for trouble: remove gfp_mask arg.
