From: Andrew Morton Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 21:49:29 +0000 (-0700) Subject: scripts/checkpatch.pl: __GFP_NOFAIL isn't going away X-Git-Tag: v3.15-rc1~106^2~75 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=74915c7dd0e144cc735058a77a3901c98f1e7039;p=pandora-kernel.git scripts/checkpatch.pl: __GFP_NOFAIL isn't going away Revert commit 7e4915e78992 ("checkpatch: add warning of future __GFP_NOFAIL use"). There are no plans to remove __GFP_NOFAIL. __GFP_NOFAIL exists to a) centralise the retry-allocation-for-ever operation into the core allocator, which is the appropriate implementation site and b) permit us to identify code sites which aren't handling memory exhaustion appropriately.
