Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: unify the warning on NOFAIL and high order allocation
Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2024 14:16:51 +0930 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0432aa5966e7bc9d88a05dcacb210b80320e0700.1719722782.git.wqu@suse.com> (raw)
Inside rmqueue() there is a dedicated WARN_ON_ONCE() to make sure
__GFP_NOFAIL is not combined with any order > 1 allocation.
However the following locations are doing the same check, but with
order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER as the threshold:
- VM_BUG_ON() inside pcp_allowed_order()
- WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP() inside __alloc_pages_may_oom()
So this looks like a behavior mismatch, and it's better to unify all the
__GFP_NOFAIL check using PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER for the order.
