    scripts/checkpatch.pl: __GFP_NOFAIL isn't going away · 74915c7d
    Andrew Morton authored Apr 03, 2014
    Revert commit 7e4915e7
    
     ("checkpatch: add warning of future
    __GFP_NOFAIL use").
    
    There are no plans to remove __GFP_NOFAIL.
    
    __GFP_NOFAIL exists to
    
    a) centralise the retry-allocation-for-ever operation into the core
       allocator, which is the appropriate implementation site and
    
    b) permit us to identify code sites which aren't handling memory
       exhaustion appropriately.
