Subject: [PATCH] pgtables: fix GFP_KERNEL allocation with preempt disabled
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 13:04:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050419170413.GB21616@localhost> (raw)
Hi Andrew,
This is a fix to the pgtable_quicklist code. There is a GFP_KERNEL
allocation in pgtable_quicklist_alloc(), which spews the usual warnings
if the kernel is under heavy VM pressure and the reclaim code is
invoked.
This patch is against 2.6.12-rc2-mm2
