We have a concept + * of so called costly allocations (with order > %PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). + * !costly allocations are too essential to fail so they are implicitly + * non-failing by default (with some exceptions like OOM victims might fail so + * the caller still has to check for failures) while costly requests try to be + * not disruptive and back off even without invoking the OOM killer. + * The following three modifiers might be used to override some of these + * implicit rules + * + * %__GFP_NORETRY: The VM implementation will try only very lightweight + * memory direct reclaim to get some memory under memory pressure (thus + * it can sleep).

The allocation could block + * indefinitely but will never return with failure. Testing for + * failure is pointless. + * New users should be evaluated carefully (and the flag should be + * used only when there is no reasonable failure policy) but it is + * definitely preferable to use the flag rather than opencode endless + * loop around allocator. + * Using this flag for costly allocations is _highly_ discouraged. + */ +#define __GFP_IO ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_IO) +#define __GFP_FS ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_FS) +#define __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) /* Caller can reclaim */ +#define __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) /* kswapd can wake */ +#define __GFP_RECLAIM ((__force gfp_t)(___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM|___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM)) +#define __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL) +#define __GFP_NOFAIL ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_NOFAIL) +#define __GFP_NORETRY ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_NORETRY) + +/** + * DOC: Action modifiers + * + * Action modifiers + * ---------------- + * + * %__GFP_NOWARN suppresses allocation failure reports. + * + * %__GFP_COMP address compound page metadata. + * + * %__GFP_ZERO returns a zeroed page on success. + * + * %__GFP_ZEROTAGS zeroes memory tags at allocation time if the memory itself + * is being zeroed (either via __GFP_ZERO or via init_on_alloc, provided that + * __GFP_SKIP_ZERO is not set).

It is typically used by hardware + * for buffers that are mapped to userspace (e.g. graphics) that hardware + * still must DMA to. cpuset limits are enforced for these allocations. + * + * %GFP_DMA exists for historical reasons and should be avoided where possible. + * The flags indicates that the caller requires that the lowest zone be + * used (%ZONE_DMA or 16M on x86-64). Ideally, this would be removed but + * it would require careful auditing as some users really require it and + * others use the flag to avoid lowmem reserves in %ZONE_DMA and treat the + * lowest zone as a type of emergency reserve. + * + * %GFP_DMA32 is similar to %GFP_DMA except that the caller requires a 32-bit + * address.
