[PATCH 09/20] parisc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT

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

 



From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

__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.

pmd_alloc_one allocate PMD_ORDER which is 1. This means that this flag
has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only
for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
