From db38c179a759a9c4722525e8c9f09ac80e372377 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Woodman Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 16:05:45 -0800 Subject: [NET]: __alloc_pages() failures reported due to fragmentation We have seen a couple of __alloc_pages() failures due to fragmentation, there is plenty of free memory but no large order pages available. I think the problem is in sock_alloc_send_pskb(), the gfp_mask includes __GFP_REPEAT but its never used/passed to the page allocator. Shouldnt the gfp_mask be passed to alloc_skb() ?
