From 28c34c291e746aab1c2bfd6d6609b2e47fa0978b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:05:47 -0700 Subject: mm: memcontrol: reclaim at least once for __GFP_NORETRY Currently, __GFP_NORETRY tries charging once and gives up before even trying to reclaim. Bring the behavior on par with the page allocator and reclaim at least once before giving up.
