What guarantees that? Since if this is the case then this can result in
a lot of opportunities for cleanup across the whole kernel tree. After
discussing with mhocko (cc'ed) it seems that in practice everything
below COSTLY_ORDER which are not GFP_NORETRY will never fail. But this
semantic is not the same as GFP_NOFAIL. E.g. nothing guarantees that
this will stay like that in the future?

In practice it is hard to change the semantic of small allocations never
fail _practically_. But this is absolutely not guaranteed! They can fail
e.g. when the allocation context is the oom victim. Removing error paths
for allocation failures is just wrong.

everything which is not __GFP_NOFAIL might fail. We try hard not to fail
small allocations requests as much as we can in general but you _have_ to
check for failures. There is simply no way to guarantee "never fail"
semantic for all allocation requests. This has been like that basically
since years. And even this try-to-be-nofailing for small allocations has
been PITA for some corner cases.

It was exactly other way around. We would like to _get_rid_of_ this do
not fail behavior because it is causing a major headaches in out of
memory corner cases. Just take GFP_NOFS as an example. It is a weak
reclaim context because we cannot reclaim fs metadata and that might be
a lot of memory so we cannot trigger the OOM killer and have to rely on
a different allocation context or kswapd to make a progress on our
behalf. We would really like to fail those requests instead. I've tried
that in the past but it was deemed to dangerous because _all_ kernel
paths would have to be checked for a sane failure behavior. So we are
keeping status quo instead.

I do not see any explicit documentation which would encourage users to
not check for the allocation failure. Only __GFP_NOFAIL is documented it
_must_ retry for ever. Of course I am open for any documentation
improvements.

The fault injection framework at least used to work quite nicely for this;
I used it to test out the failure paths in the OLPC drivers years ago.
