Subject: [PATCH 11/20] powerpc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 15:23:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461849846-27209-12-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461849846-27209-1-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 are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in
pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12
size and that fits into !costly allocation request size. This means that
this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been
used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
