The patch titled
Subject: arm: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
arm-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: arm: 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.
PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but none of the allocation which uses this
flag is for more than order-2. This means that this flag has never been
actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
