From ab3508854353793cd35e348fde89a5c09b2fd8b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:12:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: explicitly define what alloc flags deplete min reserves As there are more ALLOC_ flags that affect reserves, define what flags affect reserves and clarify the effect of each flag.
