[ Upstream commit 1ebbb21811 ]
GFP_ATOMIC allocations get flagged ALLOC_HARDER which is a vague
description. In preparation for the removal of GFP_ATOMIC redefine
__GFP_ATOMIC to simply mean non-blocking and renaming ALLOC_HARDER to
ALLOC_NON_BLOCK accordingly. __GFP_HIGH is required for access to
reserves but non-blocking is granted more access. For example, GFP_NOWAIT
is non-blocking but has no special access to reserves. A __GFP_NOFAIL
blocking allocation is granted access similar to __GFP_HIGH if the only
alternative is an OOM kill.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
