[PATCH v2 3/4] mm/page_alloc: separate steal decision from steal behaviour part

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Fri Jan 30 2015 - 07:35:05 EST


From: Joonsoo <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>

This is preparation step to use page allocator's anti fragmentation logic
in compaction. This patch just separates steal decision part from actual
steal behaviour part so there is no functional change.
