[PATCH 1/5] xfs: Remove kmem_zone_alloc() usage

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

 



Use kmem_cache_alloc() directly.

All kmem_zone_alloc() users pass 0 as flags, which are translated into:
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOWARN, and kmem_zone_alloc() loops forever until the
allocation succeeds.

We can use __GFP_NOFAIL to tell the allocator to loop forever rather
than doing it ourself, and because the allocation will never fail, we do
not need to use __GFP_NOWARN anymore. Hence, all callers can be
converted to use GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL

Changelog:
	V2:
		- Wire up xfs_inode_alloc to use __GFP_NOFAIL
		  if it's called inside a transaction
		- Rewrite changelog in a more decent way.
	V3:
		- Use __GFP_NOFAIL unconditionally in xfs_inode_alloc(),
		  use of PF_FSTRANS will be added when the patch re-adding
		  it is moved to mainline.
