From 77644fc39d93e95d62adb53e3b201a00e98d66f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:05:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] compound pages: Allow use of get_page_unless_zero with compound pages This is needed by slab defragmentation. The refcount of a page head may be incremented to ensure that a compound page will not go away under us. It also may be needed for defragmentation of higher order pages. The moving of compound pages may require the establishment of a reference before the use of page migration functions.
