Re: [PATCH] mm/compaction: remove unused variable sysctl_compact_memory

The sysctl_compact_memory is mostly unsed in mm/compaction.c
It just acts as a place holder for sysctl.

Thus we can remove it from here and move the declaration directly
in kernel/sysctl.c itself.
This will also eliminate the extern declaration from header file.
No functionality is broken or changed this way.

You need to specify the first commit which added sysctl_compact_memory
variable and if exists the last commit which removed the last access
of the same variable in the file mm/compaction.c in for completeness
of the commit log.
