Chris Wilson ee2202d73b drm/i915: Allow internal page allocations to fail
Internal objects consistent of scratch pages not subject to the
persistence guarantees of user facing objects. They are used for
example, in ring buffers where they are only required for temporary
storage of commands that will be rewritten every time. As they are
temporary constructs, quietly report -ENOMEM back along the callchain
rather than subject the system to oomkiller if an allocation fails.

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.
