[PATCH 2/5] Breakout page_order() to internal.h to avoid special knowledge of the buddy allocator

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Fri May 25 2007 - 05:22:21 EST



The statistics patch later needs to know what order a free page is on the
free lists. Rather than having special knowledge of page_private() when
PageBuddy() is set, this patch places out page_order() in internal.h and
adds a VM_BUG_ON to catch using it on non-PageBuddy pages.
