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. page_table_alloc then uses the flag for a single page allocation. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests. An earlier attempt to remove the flag 10d58bf297e2 ("s390: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT") has missed this one but the situation is very same here.
