Subject[PATCH 4.4 23/23] mm, memcg: do not retry precharge charges
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>

commit 3674534b775354516e5c148ea48f51d4d1909a78 upstream.

When memory.move_charge_at_immigrate is enabled and precharges are
depleted during move, mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() will attempt to
increase the size of the precharge.

Prevent precharges from ever looping by setting __GFP_NORETRY. This was
probably the intention of the GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_NORETRY, which is
pointless as written.

Fixes: 0029e19ebf84 ("mm: memcontrol: remove explicit OOM parameter in charge path")
