[PATCH v2 8/9] mm, page_alloc: print symbolic gfp_flags on allocation failure

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Tue Nov 24 2015 - 07:40:46 EST


It would be useful to translate gfp_flags into string representation when
printing in case of an allocation failure, especially as the flags have been
undergoing some changes recently and the script ./scripts/gfp-translate needs
a matching source version to be accurate.

Example output:

stapio: page allocation failure: order:9, mode:0x2080020(GFP_ATOMIC)
