[PATCH 05/11] mm: vmscan: replace shrink_node() loop with a retry jump

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Mon Jun 03 2019 - 18:11:28 EST


Most of the function body is inside a loop, which imposes an
additional indentation and scoping level that makes the code a bit
hard to follow and modify.

The looping only happens in case of reclaim-compaction, which isn't
the common case. So rather than adding yet another function level to
the reclaim path and have every reclaim invocation go through a level
that only exists for one specific cornercase, use a retry goto.
