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.

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.
