Hi, while working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a good half of it is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. The series is based on linux-next tree and $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT next/master | wc -l 106 and with the patch $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 44 There are probably more users which do not need the flag but I have focused on the trivially superfluous ones here. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
