From 74915c7dd0e144cc735058a77a3901c98f1e7039 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:49:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
