[PATCH] makedumpfile: Free pages aren't removed in non-cyclic mode.

[Atsushi Kumagai]

Hello,

This is a bug since v1.5.4, it will mainly affect re-filtering
feature since the current makedumpfile generally works in cyclic
mode by default.

Note: these codes will be removed in the next version by merging
      the codes of cyclic mode and non-cyclic mode.


Thanks,
Atsushi Kumagai

Subject: [PATCH] Free pages aren't removed in non-cyclic mode.

If the dump level is 16 (exclude only free pages), free pages will
not be removed in non-cyclic mode because exclude_unnecessary_pages()
will be never called in that case. This issue happens when
page_is_buddy is enabled, otherwise free pages will be removed
by using free list.
