We can easily audit the handful of cases in the kernel that use __GFP_NOFAIL (it takes five minutes at the max) and prove that none use it with GFP_ATOMIC or GFP_NOFS. We don't need to add multitudes of warnings about using a deprecated flag with ludicrous combinations (does anyone really expect GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOFAIL to work gracefully)? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
