    mm: introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves · b37f1dd0
    Mel Gorman authored Jul 31, 2012
    
    
    __GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much
    like PF_MEMALLOC.  It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in
    object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as
    sk->sk_allocation.  This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as callers
    using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which is now
    enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.
