[PATCH] mm: __GFP_NOFAIL fix
In __alloc_pages(): if ((p->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC | PF_MEMDIE)) && !in_interrupt()) { /* go through the zonelist yet again, ignoring mins */ for (i = 0; zones[i] != NULL; i++) { struct zone *z = zones[i]; page = buffered_rmqueue(z, order, gfp_mask); if (page) { zone_statistics(zonelist, z); goto got_pg; } } goto nopage; <<<< HERE!!! FAIL... } kswapd (which has PF_MEMALLOC flag) can fail to allocate memory even when it allocates it with __GFP_NOFAIL flag.
