From 640ab98fb3629c0f8417b9b2532eca596495f3bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2017 05:40:16 -0600 Subject: buffer: have alloc_page_buffers() use __GFP_NOFAIL Instead of adding weird retry logic in that function, utilize __GFP_NOFAIL to ensure that the vm takes care of handling any potential retries appropriately. This means we don't have to call free_more_memory() from here.
