From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 21:48:53 +0000 (-0700) Subject: x86/efi: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT X-Git-Tag: v4.7-rc5~11^2~34 X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.eti.br/?p=cascardo%2Flinux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f58f230a832ba8220a64f44aaafcce4b7358d826 x86/efi: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. efi_alloc_page_tables uses __GFP_REPEAT but it allocates an order-0 page. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
