0146  * Reclaim modifiers
0147  * -----------------
0148  * Please note that all the following flags are only applicable to sleepable
0149  * allocations (e.g. %GFP_NOWAIT and %GFP_ATOMIC will ignore them).
0150  *
0151  * %__GFP_IO can start physical IO.
0152  *
0153  * %__GFP_FS can call down to the low-level FS. Clearing the flag avoids the
0154  * allocator recursing into the filesystem which might already be holding
0155  * locks.
0156  *
0157  * %__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM indicates that the caller may enter direct reclaim.
0158  * This flag can be cleared to avoid unnecessary delays when a fallback
0159  * option is available.
0160  *
0161  * %__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM indicates that the caller wants to wake kswapd when
0162  * the low watermark is reached and have it reclaim pages until the high
0163  * watermark is reached. A caller may wish to clear this flag when fallback
0164  * options are available and the reclaim is likely to disrupt the system. The
0165  * canonical example is THP allocation where a fallback is cheap but
0166  * reclaim/compaction may cause indirect stalls.
0167  *
0168  * %__GFP_RECLAIM is shorthand to allow/forbid both direct and kswapd reclaim.
0169  *
0170  * The default allocator behavior depends on the request size. We have a concept
0171  * of so called costly allocations (with order > %PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).
0172  * !costly allocations are too essential to fail so they are implicitly
0173  * non-failing by default (with some exceptions like OOM victims might fail so
0174  * the caller still has to check for failures) while costly requests try to be
0175  * not disruptive and back off even without invoking the OOM killer.
0176  * The following three modifiers might be used to override some of these
0177  * implicit rules
0178  *
0179  * %__GFP_NORETRY: The VM implementation will try only very lightweight
0180  * memory direct reclaim to get some memory under memory pressure (thus
0181  * it can sleep). It will avoid disruptive actions like OOM killer. The
0182  * caller must handle the failure which is quite likely to happen under
0183  * heavy memory pressure. The flag is suitable when failure can easily be
0184  * handled at small cost, such as reduced throughput
0185  *
0186  * %__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL: The VM implementation will retry memory reclaim
0187  * procedures that have previously failed if there is some indication
0188  * that progress has been made else where.  It can wait for other
0189  * tasks to attempt high level approaches to freeing memory such as
0190  * compaction (which removes fragmentation) and page-out.
0191  * There is still a definite limit to the number of retries, but it is
0192  * a larger limit than with %__GFP_NORETRY.
0193  * Allocations with this flag may fail, but only when there is
0194  * genuinely little unused memory. While these allocations do not
0195  * directly trigger the OOM killer, their failure indicates that
0196  * the system is likely to need to use the OOM killer soon.  The
0197  * caller must handle failure, but can reasonably do so by failing
0198  * a higher-level request, or completing it only in a much less
0199  * efficient manner.
0200  * If the allocation does fail, and the caller is in a position to
0201  * free some non-essential memory, doing so could benefit the system
0202  * as a whole.
0203  *
0204  * %__GFP_NOFAIL: The VM implementation _must_ retry infinitely: the caller
0205  * cannot handle allocation failures. The allocation could block
0206  * indefinitely but will never return with failure. Testing for
0207  * failure is pointless.
0208  * New users should be evaluated carefully (and the flag should be
0209  * used only when there is no reasonable failure policy) but it is
0210  * definitely preferable to use the flag rather than opencode endless
0211  * loop around allocator.
0212  * Using this flag for costly allocations is _highly_ discouraged.

0264  *
0265  * Useful GFP flag combinations
0266  * ----------------------------
0267  *
0268  * Useful GFP flag combinations that are commonly used. It is recommended
0269  * that subsystems start with one of these combinations and then set/clear
0270  * %__GFP_FOO flags as necessary.
0271  *
0272  * %GFP_ATOMIC users can not sleep and need the allocation to succeed. A lower
0273  * watermark is applied to allow access to "atomic reserves".
0274  * The current implementation doesn't support NMI and few other strict
0275  * non-preemptive contexts (e.g. raw_spin_lock). The same applies to %GFP_NOWAIT.
0276  *
0277  * %GFP_KERNEL is typical for kernel-internal allocations. The caller requires
0278  * %ZONE_NORMAL or a lower zone for direct access but can direct reclaim.
0279  *
0280  * %GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT is the same as GFP_KERNEL, except the allocation is
0281  * accounted to kmemcg.
0282  *
0283  * %GFP_NOWAIT is for kernel allocations that should not stall for direct
0284  * reclaim, start physical IO or use any filesystem callback.
0285  *
0286  * %GFP_NOIO will use direct reclaim to discard clean pages or slab pages
0287  * that do not require the starting of any physical IO.
0288  * Please try to avoid using this flag directly and instead use
0289  * memalloc_noio_{save,restore} to mark the whole scope which cannot
0290  * perform any IO with a short explanation why. All allocation requests
0291  * will inherit GFP_NOIO implicitly.
0292  *
0293  * %GFP_NOFS will use direct reclaim but will not use any filesystem interfaces.
0294  * Please try to avoid using this flag directly and instead use
0295  * memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} to mark the whole scope which cannot/shouldn't
0296  * recurse into the FS layer with a short explanation why. All allocation
0297  * requests will inherit GFP_NOFS implicitly.
0298  *
0299  * %GFP_USER is for userspace allocations that also need to be directly
0300  * accessibly by the kernel or hardware. It is typically used by hardware
0301  * for buffers that are mapped to userspace (e.g. graphics) that hardware
0302  * still must DMA to. cpuset limits are enforced for these allocations.
0303  *
0304  * %GFP_DMA exists for historical reasons and should be avoided where possible.
0305  * The flags indicates that the caller requires that the lowest zone be
0306  * used (%ZONE_DMA or 16M on x86-64). Ideally, this would be removed but
0307  * it would require careful auditing as some users really require it and
0308  * others use the flag to avoid lowmem reserves in %ZONE_DMA and treat the
0309  * lowest zone as a type of emergency reserve.
0310  *
0311  * %GFP_DMA32 is similar to %GFP_DMA except that the caller requires a 32-bit
0312  * address. Note that kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32) does not return DMA32 memory
0313  * because the DMA32 kmalloc cache array is not implemented.
0314  * (Reason: there is no such user in kernel).
0315  *
0316  * %GFP_HIGHUSER is for userspace allocations that may be mapped to userspace,
0317  * do not need to be directly accessible by the kernel but that cannot
0318  * move once in use. An example may be a hardware allocation that maps
0319  * data directly into userspace but has no addressing limitations.
0320  *
0321  * %GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE is for userspace allocations that the kernel does not
0322  * need direct access to but can use kmap() when access is required. They
0323  * are expected to be movable via page reclaim or page migration. Typically,
0324  * pages on the LRU would also be allocated with %GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE.
0325  *
0326  * %GFP_TRANSHUGE and %GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT are used for THP allocations. They
0327  * are compound allocations that will generally fail quickly if memory is not
0328  * available and will not wake kswapd/kcompactd on failure. The _LIGHT
0329  * version does not attempt reclaim/compaction at all and is by default used
0330  * in page fault path, while the non-light is used by khugepaged.
