The patch titled nfs: use GFP_NOFS preloads for radix-tree insertion has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfs-use-gfp_nofs-preloads-for-radix-tree-insertion.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: nfs: use GFP_NOFS preloads for radix-tree insertion From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx> NFS should use GFP_NOFS mode radix tree preloads rather than GFP_ATOMIC allocations at radix-tree insertion-time. This is important to reduce the atomic memory requirement. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "J.
