[PATCH] mm: skip watermarks check for already isolated blocks insplit_free_page()

From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Thu Nov 08 2012 - 01:59:24 EST


Since commit 2139cbe627b8 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") free
pages in isolated pageblocks are not accounted to NR_FREE_PAGES counters,
so watermarks check is not required if one operates on a free page in
isolated pageblock.
