Re: [patch v2] mm, memcg: do not retry precharge charges

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

 



When memory.move_charge_at_immigrate is enabled and precharges are
depleted during move, mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() will attempt to
increase the size of the precharge.

Prevent precharges from ever looping by setting __GFP_NORETRY.  This was
probably the intention of the GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_NORETRY, which is
pointless as written.
