From f45eebc25e78991ef6a6d784ab54151d3003cfdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:49:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tile: 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. pgtable_alloc_one uses __GFP_REPEAT flag for L2_USER_PGTABLE_ORDER but the order is either 0 or 3 if L2_KERNEL_PGTABLE_SHIFT for HPAGE_SHIFT. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
