- * Watermark modifiers -- controls access to emergency reserves
- * ------------------------------------------------------------
- *
- * %__GFP_HIGH indicates that the caller is high-priority and that granting

- * For example, creating an IO context to clean pages.
- *
- * %__GFP_ATOMIC indicates that the caller cannot reclaim or sleep and is
- * high priority. Users are typically interrupt handlers. This may be

- *
- * %__GFP_MEMALLOC allows access to all memory. This should only be used when
- * the caller guarantees the allocation will allow more memory to be freed
- * very shortly e.g. process exiting or swapping. Users either should
- * be the MM or co-ordinating closely with the VM (e.g. swap over NFS).
- * Users of this flag have to be extremely careful to not deplete the reserve
- * completely and implement a throttling mechanism which controls the
- * consumption of the reserve based on the amount of freed memory.
- * Usage of a pre-allocated pool (e.g. mempool) should be always considered
- * before using this flag.
- *
- * %__GFP_NOMEMALLOC is used to explicitly forbid access to emergency reserves.
- * This takes precedence over the %__GFP_MEMALLOC flag if both are set.

- * DOC: Reclaim modifiers
- *
- * Reclaim modifiers
- * -----------------
- * Please note that all the following flags are only applicable to sleepable
- * allocations (e.g. %GFP_NOWAIT and %GFP_ATOMIC will ignore them).
- *
- * %__GFP_IO can start physical IO.
- *
- * %__GFP_FS can call down to the low-level FS. Clearing the flag avoids the
- * allocator recursing into the filesystem which might already be holding
- * locks.
- *
- * %__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM indicates that the caller may enter direct reclaim.
- * This flag can be cleared to avoid unnecessary delays when a fallback
- * option is available.
- *
- * %__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM indicates that the caller wants to wake kswapd when
- * the low watermark is reached and have it reclaim pages until the high
- * watermark is reached. A caller may wish to clear this flag when fallback
- * options are available and the reclaim is likely to disrupt the system. The
- * canonical example is THP allocation where a fallback is cheap but
- * reclaim/compaction may cause indirect stalls.
- *
- * %__GFP_RECLAIM is shorthand to allow/forbid both direct and kswapd reclaim.
- *
- * The default allocator behavior depends on the request size. 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). It will avoid disruptive actions like OOM killer. The
- * caller must handle the failure which is quite likely to happen under
- * heavy memory pressure. The flag is suitable when failure can easily be
- * handled at small cost, such as reduced throughput
- *
- * %__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL: The VM implementation will retry memory reclaim
- * procedures that have previously failed if there is some indication
- * that progress has been made else where. It can wait for other
- * tasks to attempt high level approaches to freeing memory such as
- * compaction (which removes fragmentation) and page-out.
- * There is still a definite limit to the number of retries, but it is
- * a larger limit than with %__GFP_NORETRY.
- * Allocations with this flag may fail, but only when there is
- * genuinely little unused memory. While these allocations do not
- * directly trigger the OOM killer, their failure indicates that
- * the system is likely to need to use the OOM killer soon. The
- * caller must handle failure, but can reasonably do so by failing
- * a higher-level request, or completing it only in a much less
- * efficient manner.
- * If the allocation does fail, and the caller is in a position to
- * free some non-essential memory, doing so could benefit the system
- * as a whole.
- *
- * %__GFP_NOFAIL: The VM implementation _must_ retry infinitely: the caller
- * cannot handle allocation failures. 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.

-/**
- * DOC: Useful GFP flag combinations
- *
- * Useful GFP flag combinations
- * ----------------------------
- *
- * Useful GFP flag combinations that are commonly used. It is recommended
- * that subsystems start with one of these combinations and then set/clear
- * %__GFP_FOO flags as necessary.
- *
- * %GFP_ATOMIC users can not sleep and need the allocation to succeed. A lower
- * watermark is applied to allow access to "atomic reserves".
- * The current implementation doesn't support NMI and few other strict
- * non-preemptive contexts (e.g. raw_spin_lock). The same applies to %GFP_NOWAIT.
- *
- * %GFP_KERNEL is typical for kernel-internal allocations. The caller requires
- * %ZONE_NORMAL or a lower zone for direct access but can direct reclaim.
- *
- * %GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT is the same as GFP_KERNEL, except the allocation is
- * accounted to kmemcg.
- *
- * %GFP_NOWAIT is for kernel allocations that should not stall for direct
- * reclaim, start physical IO or use any filesystem callback.
- *
- * %GFP_NOIO will use direct reclaim to discard clean pages or slab pages
- * that do not require the starting of any physical IO.
- * Please try to avoid using this flag directly and instead use
- * memalloc_noio_{save,restore} to mark the whole scope which cannot
- * perform any IO with a short explanation why. All allocation requests
- * will inherit GFP_NOIO implicitly.
- *
- * %GFP_NOFS will use direct reclaim but will not use any filesystem interfaces.
- * Please try to avoid using this flag directly and instead use
- * memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} to mark the whole scope which cannot/shouldn't
- * recurse into the FS layer with a short explanation why. All allocation
- * requests will inherit GFP_NOFS implicitly.
- *
- * %GFP_USER is for userspace allocations that also need to be directly
- * accessibly by the kernel or hardware. 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. Note that kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32) does not return DMA32 memory
- * because the DMA32 kmalloc cache array is not implemented.
- * (Reason: there is no such user in kernel).
- *
- * %GFP_HIGHUSER is for userspace allocations that may be mapped to userspace,
- * do not need to be directly accessible by the kernel but that cannot
- * move once in use. An example may be a hardware allocation that maps
- * data directly into userspace but has no addressing limitations.
- *
- * %GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE is for userspace allocations that the kernel does not
- * need direct access to but can use kmap() when access is required. They
- * are expected to be movable via page reclaim or page migration. Typically,
- * pages on the LRU would also be allocated with %GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE.
- *
- * %GFP_TRANSHUGE and %GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT are used for THP allocations. They
- * are compound allocations that will generally fail quickly if memory is not
- * available and will not wake kswapd/kcompactd on failure. The _LIGHT
- * version does not attempt reclaim/compaction at all and is by default used
- * in page fault path, while the non-light is used by khugepaged.
