From 884ed4cb8aa19ccff32f5c5586257c56e56f91a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:49:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sh: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but {pgd,pmd}_alloc allocate from {pgd,pmd}_cache but both caches are allocating up to PAGE_SIZE objects. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
