sl?b and vmalloc allocators reduce the given gfp mask for their internal needs. For that they use GFP_RECLAIM_MASK to preserve the reclaim behavior and constrains. __GFP_NOLOCKDEP is not a part of that mask because it doesn't really control the reclaim behavior strictly speaking. On the other hand it tells the underlying page allocator to disable reclaim recursion detection so arguably it should be part of the mask. Having __GFP_NOLOCKDEP in the mask will not alter the behavior in any form so this change is safe pretty much by definition. It also adds a support for this flag to SL?B and vmalloc allocators which will in turn allow its use to kvmalloc as well. A lack of the support has been noticed recently in http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211119225435.GZ449541@dread.disaster.area Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YZ9XtLY4AEjVuiEI@dhcp22.suse.cz Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reported-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Cc: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
