rebalance:
	if ((p->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC | PF_MEMDIE)) && !in_interrupt()) {
		/* go through the zonelist yet again, ignoring mins */
		for (i = 0; zones[i] != NULL; i++) {
			struct zone *z = zones[i];

			page = buffered_rmqueue(z, order, cold);
			if (page)
				goto got_pg;
		}
		goto nopage;
	}
