From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Revert "gfp: add __GFP_NOACCOUNT"
This reverts commit 8f4fc071b1926d0b2 ("gfp: add __GFP_NOACCOUNT").
Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be
fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more
allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be.
Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse
consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory
consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches.
So it was decided to switch to the white-list policy. This patch reverts
bits introducing the black-list policy. The white-list policy will be
introduced later in the series.
