[RFC][PATCH v2 04/23] (cris) __vmalloc: add gfp flags variant of pte and pmd allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



__vmalloc: propagating GFP allocation flag.

- adds functions to allow caller to pass the GFP flag for memory allocation
- helps in fixing the Bug 30702 (__vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) can callback
		  file system evict_inode).
