From 54d87d600adbe9889bccaff38420cec02250993b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:48:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] arc: 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. pte_alloc_one_kernel uses __get_order_pte but this is obviously always zero because BITS_FOR_PTE is not larger than 9 yet the page size is always larger than 4K. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
