Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 04/22] mm, um: add gfp flags variant of pmd and
 pte allocations


- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() which is similar to pte_alloc_one_kernel()
  but accepts an additional parameter to be used during page allocation.

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() has been modified to call
  __pte_alloc_one_kernel().

- The similar changes are done for pmd allocations. The name of the newly
  added function is __pmd_alloc_one().

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
