[PATCH 25/34] mm, vmscan: avoid passing in classzone_idx unnecessarily to compaction_ready

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Fri Jul 08 2016 - 05:42:37 EST


The scan_control structure has enough information available for
compaction_ready() to make a decision. The classzone_idx manipulations in
shrink_zones() are no longer necessary as the highest populated zone is
no longer used to determine if shrink_slab should be called or not.
