[PATCH] vm: try_to_free_pages unused argument

From: Darren Hart
Date: Wed May 18 2005 - 16:28:19 EST


try_to_free_pages accepts a third argument, order, but hasn't used it since before 2.6.0. The following patch removes the argument and updates all the calls to try_to_free_pages.

Tested on a 4 way x86 box running kernbench. No problems detected.
