From 1ce0aa802c4cbe6dfe2c7fa95c839d75a509c9a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 20:37:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] jbd: Revert "jbd: remove dependency on __GFP_NOFAIL" This reverts commit 05713082ab7690a2b22b044cfc867f346c39cd2d. The idea to remove __GFP_NOFAIL was opposed by Andrew Morton. Although mm guys do want to get rid of __GFP_NOFAIL users, opencoding the allocation retry is even worse.
