| |
get_page_from_freelist() can be called multiple times for an allocation. Part of this calculates the preferred_zone which is the first usable zone in the zonelist but the zone depends on the GFP flags specified at the beginning of the allocation call. This patch calculates preferred_zone once. It's safe to do this because if preferred_zone is NULL at the start of the call, no amount of direct reclaim or other actions will change the fact the allocation will fail.
