Many sightings report the greater prevalence of allocation failures. This is all due to the incorrect use of mapping_gfp_constraint(), so remove it in favour of just querying the mapping_gfp_mask() which are the exact gfp_t we wanted in the first place. We still do expect a higher chance of reporting ENOMEM, as that is the intention of using __GFP_NORETRY -- to fail rather than oom after having reclaimed from our bo caches, and having done a direct|kswapd reclaim pass.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
