Subject: [PATCH 3.14 108/122] mm/compaction: cleanup isolate_freepages()
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz>
commit c96b9e508f3d06ddb601dcc9792d62c044ab359e upstream.
isolate_freepages() is currently somewhat hard to follow thanks to many
looks like it is related to the 'low_pfn' variable, but in fact it is not.
This patch renames the 'high_pfn' variable to a hopefully less confusing name,
and slightly changes its handling without a functional change. A comment made
obsolete by recent changes is also updated.
[akpm@...ux-foundation.org: comment fixes, per Minchan]
