[PATCH net-next 2/6] page_frag: unify gfp bit for order 3 page allocation

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Tue Dec 05 2023 - 06:35:24 EST


Currently there seems to be three page frag implementions
which all try to allocate order 3 page, if that fails, it
then fail back to allocate order 0 page, and each of them
all allow order 3 page allocation to fail under certain
condition by using specific gfp bits.

The gfp bits for order 3 page allocation are different
between different implementation, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is
or'd to forbid access to emergency reserves memory for
__page_frag_cache_refill(), but it is not or'd in other
implementions, __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is xor'd to avoid
direct reclaim in skb_page_frag_refill(), but it is not
xor'd in __page_frag_cache_refill().

This patch unifies the gfp bits used between different
implementions by or'ing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC and xor'ing
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM for order 3 page allocation to avoid
possible pressure for mm.
