From e9e96b39f932a065e14f5d5bab0797ae261d03b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 14:32:21 -0700 Subject: mm: allow CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA or memory hot-remove CONFIG_MIGRATION currently depends on CONFIG_NUMA or on the architecture being able to hot-remove memory. The main users of page migration such as sys_move_pages(), sys_migrate_pages() and cpuset process migration are only beneficial on NUMA so it makes sense. As memory compaction will operate within a zone and is useful on both NUMA and non-NUMA systems, this patch allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set if the user selects CONFIG_COMPACTION as an option.
