The patch titled
Subject: mm, memcg: do not retry precharge charges
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-memcg-do-not-retry-precharge-charges.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, memcg: do not retry precharge charges
When memory.move_charge_at_immigrate is enabled and precharges are
depleted during move, mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() will attempt to
increase the size of the precharge.
Prevent precharges from ever looping by setting __GFP_NORETRY. This was
probably the intention of the GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_NORETRY, which is
pointless as written.
