From 6b1de9161e973bac8c4675db608fe4f38d2689bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 21:35:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] VM: fix zone list restart in page allocatate We must reassign z before looping through the zones kicking kswapd, since it will be NULL if we hit an OOM condition and jump back to the beginning again. 'z' is initially assigned before the restart: label. So move the restart label up a little.
