Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 19:36:33 +0530 From: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@...e.de> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Neil Brown <neilb@...e.de>, Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...e.cz>, Wouter Verhelst <w@...r.be>, Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, trond.myklebust@....uio.no, Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@...e.de> Subject: [PATCH 10/31] mm: __GFP_MEMALLOC From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl> __GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as sk->sk_allocation.
