Subject[PATCH] SLUB: Do not fallback to mininum order if __GFP_NORETRY is set
Mikulas Patoka wants to ensure that no fallback to lower order happens. I
think __GFP_NORETRY should work correctly in that case too and not fall
back.



Allocating at a smaller order is a retry operation and should not
be attempted.

If the caller does not want retries then respect that.

GFP_NORETRY allows callers to ensure that only maximum order
allocations are attempted.
