Well, to be blunt, I thought the "we don't want the allocator to even know if we're in a non-sleepable context" argument was too crazy to have real support, and moving towards PF_MEMALLOC flags is something we've been talking about quite a bit going back years. Little did I know the minefield I was walking into... But the disccussion seems to finally be cooling off and going in a more productive direction.
