Subject: [PATCH 12/17] sparc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
Date: Mon, 30 May 2016 11:14:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464599699-30131-13-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464599699-30131-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org>

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

{pud,pmd}_alloc_one is using __GFP_REPEAT but it always allocates from
pgtable_cache which is initialzed to PAGE_SIZE objects. This means that
this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been
used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
