[PATCH v2] zram_drv: allow reclaim on bio_alloc

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

 



The read_from_bdev_async is not called on atomic context. So GFP_NOIO is
available rather than GFP_ATOMIC. If there were reclaimable pages with
GFP_NOIO, we can avoid allocation failure and page fault failure.
