[PATCH v6 05/29] Add a __GFP_KMEMCG flag

Glauber Costa
2012-11-01T12:08:06Z

This flag is used to indicate to the callees that this allocation is a
kernel allocation in process context, and should be accounted to
current's memcg. It takes numerical place of the of the recently removed
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

[ v4: make flag unconditional, also declare it in trace code ]
