[RFC][PATCH 2/8] mm: pcp: consolidate percpu_pagelist_fraction code

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Tue Oct 15 2013 - 16:35:48 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

pageset_set_high_and_batch() and percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()
both do the same calculation for establishing pcp->high:

high = zone->managed_pages / percpu_pagelist_fraction;

pageset_set_high_and_batch() also knows when it should be
using the sysctl-provided value or the boot-time default
behavior. There's no reason to keep
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()'s copy separate.
So, consolidate them.

The only bummer here is that pageset_set_high_and_batch() is
currently __meminit. So, axe that and make it available at
runtime.
