[PATCH 1/2] mm/shuffle: Fix shuffle enable

From: Dan Williams
Date: Wed Feb 06 2019 - 02:24:51 EST


The removal of shuffle_store() in v10 of the patch series was prompted
by the review feedback to convert page_alloc_shuffle() to __memint. I
obviously booted a stale kernel build in my tests because
shuffle_store() is indeed required:

Reintroduce it and mark it __meminit. Given the sysfs attribute is not
writable it will never be called after init.
