Re: [patch 1/5] mm: add nofail variants of kmalloc kcalloc andkzalloc

[Christoph Lameter]

We already have __GFP_NOFAIL behavior for slab allocations since
a __GFP_NOFAIL flag is passed through to the page allocator if no objects
are available.

The page allocator will do the same as when called directly with
__GFP_NOFAIL and so we have consistent behavior regardless of the
allocator used.
