As per the documentation( https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6930),
which says:
Flag Description
__GFP_REPEAT The kernel repeats the allocation if it fails.
__GFP_NOFAIL The kernel can repeat the allocation.
So, both of them may cause the kernel to repeat the allocation operation.
How can I choose between them?
What are the major differences?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
