[PATCH v2 1/4] mm: introduce alloc_contig_mode

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Dec 01 2020 - 12:53:06 EST


There are demands to control how hard alloc_contig_range try to
increase allocation success ratio. This patch abstract it by
adding new enum mode parameter in alloc_contig_range.
New API in next patch will add up new mode there to control it.

This patch shouldn't change any existing behavior.
