The patch titled Subject: tile: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was tile-get-rid-of-superfluous-__gfp_repeat.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: tile: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. pgtable_alloc_one uses __GFP_REPEAT flag for L2_USER_PGTABLE_ORDER but the order is either 0 or 3 if L2_KERNEL_PGTABLE_SHIFT for HPAGE_SHIFT. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
