Did not get what u want to specify here. I think i did not elaborate the question.
Well the question goes this way:
GFP_KERNEL = (__GFP_WAIT | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS) as also
GFP_USER = (__GFP_WAIT | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS)
This says that both are same. If they are same then why to have such a redundancy and if they are not the same, is there still some kernel code that i'm missing which differentiates these two flags?

p.s.: you should do reply to all.

hi,
can anyone explain what is the difference between the gfp flags GFP_KERNEL and GFP_USER, knowing the fact that both have the same modifier flags (__GFP_WAIT | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS)
cheers,
