[RESEND PATCH] slub: fix high order page allocation problem with __GFP_NOFAIL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



SLUB already try to allocate high order page with clearing __GFP_NOFAIL.
But, when allocating shadow page for kmemcheck, it missed clearing
the flag. This trigger WARN_ON_ONCE() reported by Christian Casteyde.

This patch fix this situation by using same allocation flag as original
allocation.
