Hello! Just following up from off-list discussions yesterday. The requirements to allocate on an RCU-protected speculative fastpath seem to be as follows: 1. Never sleep. 2. Never reclaim. 3. Leave emergency pools alone. Any others? If those rules suffice, and if my understanding of the GFP flags is correct (ha!!!), then the following GFP flags should cover this: __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN Or is this just a fancy way of always returning NULL or some such? ;-) Thanx, Paul
