From 3fcd76e8028e0be37b02a2002b4f56755daeda06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Yanfei Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2013 15:59:54 -0700 Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: remove dead code in vb_alloc Space in a vmap block that was once allocated is considered dirty and not made available for allocation again before the whole block is recycled. The result is that free space within a vmap block is always contiguous. So if a vmap block has enough free space for allocation, the allocation is impossible to fail. Thus, the fragmented block purging was never invoked from vb_alloc(). So remove this dead code.
