From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg: page_alloc: skip bulk allocator for __GFP_ACCOUNT commit 5c1f4e690eec ("mm/vmalloc: switch to bulk allocator in __vmalloc_area_node()") switched to bulk page allocator for order 0 allocation backing vmalloc. However bulk page allocator does not support __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations and there are several users of kvmalloc(__GFP_ACCOUNT). For now make __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations bypass bulk page allocator. In future if there is workload that can be significantly improved with the bulk page allocator with __GFP_ACCCOUNT support, we can revisit the decision.
