Michal Hocko f2db19719a jbd2: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT ... jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good but the logic is unnecessarily complex. 1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over: : jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so : the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we : conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit : d2eecb0393, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size : greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today. Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL. 2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored since the flag was introduced. Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is not currently used as per above leave that option open.
