Why? this is like saying that if alloc_pages(order=1) fails but alloc_pages(order=0) succeeds then it's a bug. Obviously it's not a bug.
The only bug is if slab allocations <=4k fails despite alloc_pages(order=0) would succeed. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
