Now that __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't override decisions to skip the oom killer we are left with requests which require to loop inside the allocator without invoking the oom killer (e.g. GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL used by fs code) and so they might, in very unlikely situations, loop for ever - e.g. other parallel request could starve them. This patch tries to limit the likelihood of such a lockup by giving these __GFP_NOFAIL requests a chance to move on by consuming a small part of memory reserves. We are using ALLOC_HARDER which should be enough to prevent from the starvation by regular allocation requests, yet it shouldn't consume enough from the reserves to disrupt high priority requests (ALLOC_HIGH). While we are at it, let's introduce a helper __alloc_pages_cpuset_fallback which enforces the cpusets but allows to fallback to ignore them if the first attempt fails. __GFP_NOFAIL requests can be considered important enough to allow cpuset runaway in order for the system to move on. It is highly unlikely that any of these will be GFP_USER anyway.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
