118 * to external fragmentation.
119 *
120 * %__GFP_MOVABLE (also a zone modifier) indicates that the page can be

122 *
123 * %__GFP_RECLAIMABLE is used for slab allocations that specify
124 * SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT and whose pages can be freed via shrinkers.
125 *
126 * %__GFP_WRITE indicates the caller intends to dirty the page. Where possible,
127 * these pages will be spread between local zones to avoid all the dirty
128 * pages being in one zone (fair zone allocation policy).
129 *
130 * %__GFP_HARDWALL enforces the cpuset memory allocation policy.
131 *
132 * %__GFP_THISNODE forces the allocation to be satisfied from the requested
133 * node with no fallbacks or placement policy enforcements.
134 *
135 * %__GFP_ACCOUNT causes the allocation to be accounted to kmemcg.

172 * DOC: Reclaim modifiers
173 *
174 * Reclaim modifiers
175 * -----------------
176 * Please note that all the following flags are only applicable to sleepable
177 * allocations (e.g. %GFP_NOWAIT and %GFP_ATOMIC will ignore them).
178 *
179 * %__GFP_IO can start physical IO.
180 *
181 * %__GFP_FS can call down to the low-level FS. Clearing the flag avoids the
182 * allocator recursing into the filesystem which might already be holding
183 * locks.
184 *
185 * %__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM indicates that the caller may enter direct reclaim.
186 * This flag can be cleared to avoid unnecessary delays when a fallback
187 * option is available.
188 *
189 * %__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM indicates that the caller wants to wake kswapd when
190 * the low watermark is reached and have it reclaim pages until the high
191 * watermark is reached. A caller may wish to clear this flag when fallback
192 * options are available and the reclaim is likely to disrupt the system. The
193 * canonical example is THP allocation where a fallback is cheap but
194 * reclaim/compaction may cause indirect stalls.
195 *
196 * %__GFP_RECLAIM is shorthand to allow/forbid both direct and kswapd reclaim.
197 *
198 * The default allocator behavior depends on the request size. We have a concept
0abfa8ef 199 * of so-called costly allocations (with order > %PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).
cb5a065b
IM
200 * !costly allocations are too essential to fail so they are implicitly
201 * non-failing by default (with some exceptions like OOM victims might fail so
202 * the caller still has to check for failures) while costly requests try to be
203 * not disruptive and back off even without invoking the OOM killer.
204 * The following three modifiers might be used to override some of these
0abfa8ef 205 * implicit rules.
cb5a065b
IM
206 *
207 * %__GFP_NORETRY: The VM implementation will try only very lightweight
208 * memory direct reclaim to get some memory under memory pressure (thus
209 * it can sleep). It will avoid disruptive actions like OOM killer. The
210 * caller must handle the failure which is quite likely to happen under
211 * heavy memory pressure. The flag is suitable when failure can easily be
0abfa8ef 212 * handled at small cost, such as reduced throughput.
cb5a065b
IM
213 *
214 * %__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL: The VM implementation will retry memory reclaim
215 * procedures that have previously failed if there is some indication
0abfa8ef
RD
216 * that progress has been made elsewhere. It can wait for other
217 * tasks to attempt high-level approaches to freeing memory such as
cb5a065b
IM
218 * compaction (which removes fragmentation) and page-out.
219 * There is still a definite limit to the number of retries, but it is
220 * a larger limit than with %__GFP_NORETRY.
221 * Allocations with this flag may fail, but only when there is
222 * genuinely little unused memory. While these allocations do not
223 * directly trigger the OOM killer, their failure indicates that
224 * the system is likely to need to use the OOM killer soon. The
225 * caller must handle failure, but can reasonably do so by failing
226 * a higher-level request, or completing it only in a much less
227 * efficient manner.
228 * If the allocation does fail, and the caller is in a position to
229 * free some non-essential memory, doing so could benefit the system
230 * as a whole.
231 *
232 * %__GFP_NOFAIL: The VM implementation _must_ retry infinitely: the caller
233 * cannot handle allocation failures. The allocation could block
234 * indefinitely but will never return with failure. Testing for
235 * failure is pointless.
236 * New users should be evaluated carefully (and the flag should be
237 * used only when there is no reasonable failure policy) but it is
238 * definitely preferable to use the flag rather than opencode endless
239 * loop around allocator.
240 * Using this flag for costly allocations is _highly_ discouraged.

290 * DOC: Useful GFP flag combinations
291 *
292 * Useful GFP flag combinations
293 * ----------------------------
294 *
295 * Useful GFP flag combinations that are commonly used. It is recommended
296 * that subsystems start with one of these combinations and then set/clear
297 * %__GFP_FOO flags as necessary.
298 *
299 * %GFP_ATOMIC users can not sleep and need the allocation to succeed. A lower
300 * watermark is applied to allow access to "atomic reserves".
301 * The current implementation doesn't support NMI and few other strict
302 * non-preemptive contexts (e.g. raw_spin_lock). The same applies to %GFP_NOWAIT.
303 *
304 * %GFP_KERNEL is typical for kernel-internal allocations. The caller requires
305 * %ZONE_NORMAL or a lower zone for direct access but can direct reclaim.
306 *
307 * %GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT is the same as GFP_KERNEL, except the allocation is
308 * accounted to kmemcg.
309 *
310 * %GFP_NOWAIT is for kernel allocations that should not stall for direct
16f5dfbc
MWO
311 * reclaim, start physical IO or use any filesystem callback. It is very
312 * likely to fail to allocate memory, even for very small allocations.
cb5a065b
IM
313 *
314 * %GFP_NOIO will use direct reclaim to discard clean pages or slab pages
315 * that do not require the starting of any physical IO.
316 * Please try to avoid using this flag directly and instead use
317 * memalloc_noio_{save,restore} to mark the whole scope which cannot
318 * perform any IO with a short explanation why. All allocation requests
319 * will inherit GFP_NOIO implicitly.
320 *
321 * %GFP_NOFS will use direct reclaim but will not use any filesystem interfaces.
322 * Please try to avoid using this flag directly and instead use
323 * memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} to mark the whole scope which cannot/shouldn't
324 * recurse into the FS layer with a short explanation why. All allocation
325 * requests will inherit GFP_NOFS implicitly.
326 *
327 * %GFP_USER is for userspace allocations that also need to be directly
328 * accessibly by the kernel or hardware. It is typically used by hardware
329 * for buffers that are mapped to userspace (e.g. graphics) that hardware
330 * still must DMA to. cpuset limits are enforced for these allocations.
331 *
332 * %GFP_DMA exists for historical reasons and should be avoided where possible.
333 * The flags indicates that the caller requires that the lowest zone be
334 * used (%ZONE_DMA or 16M on x86-64). Ideally, this would be removed but
335 * it would require careful auditing as some users really require it and
336 * others use the flag to avoid lowmem reserves in %ZONE_DMA and treat the
337 * lowest zone as a type of emergency reserve.
338 *
339 * %GFP_DMA32 is similar to %GFP_DMA except that the caller requires a 32-bit
340 * address. Note that kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32) does not return DMA32 memory
341 * because the DMA32 kmalloc cache array is not implemented.
342 * (Reason: there is no such user in kernel).
343 *
344 * %GFP_HIGHUSER is for userspace allocations that may be mapped to userspace,
345 * do not need to be directly accessible by the kernel but that cannot
346 * move once in use. An example may be a hardware allocation that maps
347 * data directly into userspace but has no addressing limitations.
348 *
349 * %GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE is for userspace allocations that the kernel does not
350 * need direct access to but can use kmap() when access is required. They
351 * are expected to be movable via page reclaim or page migration. Typically,
352 * pages on the LRU would also be allocated with %GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE.
353 *
354 * %GFP_TRANSHUGE and %GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT are used for THP allocations. They
355 * are compound allocations that will generally fail quickly if memory is not
356 * available and will not wake kswapd/kcompactd on failure. The _LIGHT
357 * version does not attempt reclaim/compaction at all and is by default used
358 * in page fault path, while the non-light is used by khugepaged.
