Hi Eric, I am currently checking kmalloc with vmalloc fallback users and convert them to a new kvmalloc helper [1]. While I am adding a support for __GFP_REPEAT to kvmalloc [2] I was wondering what is the reason to use __GFP_REPEAT in fq_alloc_node in the first place. c3bd85495aef ("pkt_sched: fq: more robust memory allocation") doesn't mention anything. Could you clarify this please?
