Re: [PATCH]: Cleanup of __alloc_pages

An even stranger line:

fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_buf.c has:
aentry = kmalloc(sizeof(a_list_t), GFP_ATOMIC & ~__GFP_HIGH);

Given the gfp.h line:
#define GFP_ATOMIC (__GFP_VALID | __GFP_HIGH)

that xfs_buf line makes no sense. There is almost no chance
that the author of that xfs_buf.c line was aware they were
spelling the empty gfp flag __GFP_VALID.
