[patch v4 4/6] mm, compaction: embed migration mode in compact_control
From: David Rientjes
Date: Wed May 07 2014 - 06:36:56 EST
We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the page
allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.
Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction depending
on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum migrate_mode and pass the
migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for
thp allocations in the pagefault patch to avoid unnecessary latency.
This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire system
or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

v4 of this patch only: converted name of formal from "sync" to "mode" for
try_to_compact_pages() per Vlastimil
