[patch 016/118] mm,thp,shm: limit gfp mask to no more than specified

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

 



From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm,thp,shm: limit gfp mask to no more than specified

Matthew Wilcox pointed out that the i915 driver opportunistically
allocates tmpfs memory, but will happily reclaim some of its pool if no
memory is available.

Make sure the gfp mask used to opportunistically allocate a THP is always
at least as restrictive as the original gfp mask.
