Subject: [PATCH 02/17] x86: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
Date: Mon, 30 May 2016 11:14:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464599699-30131-3-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
Message-ID: <20160530091444.OYlyDh5NWaNNbA4wQLwRTv3jnUVKikZuK2WwU4dcImI@z> (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.

PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but none of the allocation which uses this
flag is for more than order-0. This means that this flag has never
been actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
