Subject[PATCH 17/19] dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags
Date
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

copy_params seems to be little bit confused about which allocation flags
to use. It enforces GFP_NOIO even though it uses
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} which enforces GFP_NOIO at the page
allocator level automatically (via memalloc_noio_flags). It also
uses __GFP_REPEAT for the __vmalloc request which doesn't make much
sense either because vmalloc doesn't rely on costly high order
allocations.
