+AD4 Looks reasonable. Any reason for dropping the extra +AF8AXw-GFP flags?

Hi David,

What makes you think that I dropped any of the +AF8AXw-GFP flags? The only purpose
of the +AF8AXw-GFP+AF8-NOWARN and +AF8AXw-GFP+AF8-RETRY+AF8-MAYFAIL flags is to make kcalloc() fail
quickly and silently. I'm not dropping these flags: as one can see in the
kvmalloc+AF8-node() implementation that function passes these flags to
kmalloc+AF8-node(). The source code I'm referring to is available in mm/util.c.

Bart.
