From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This is a little more serious attempt than v1, since nobody seems opposed to the concept of using GFP flags to pass the order around. I've split it up a bit better, and I've reversed the arguments of __alloc_pages_node to match the order of the arguments to other functions in the same family. alloc_pages_node() needs the same treatment, but there's about 70 callers, so I'm going to skip it for now. This is against current -mm. I'm seeing a text saving of 482 bytes from a tinyconfig vmlinux (1003785 reduced to 1003303). There are more savings to be had by combining together order and the gfp flags, for example in the scan_control data structure. I think there are also cognitive savings to be had from eliminating some of the function variants which exist solely to take an 'order'.
