NACK. The effect that this patch will have is that __GFP_ZERO is passed through to the page allocator which will needlessly zero pages. GFP_LEVEL_MASK is used to filter out the flags that are to be passed to the page allocator. __GFP_ZERO is not passed on but handled by the slab allocators. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
