[PATCH 2/4] Add a __GFP_SLABMEMCG flag

From: Glauber Costa <hidden>
Date: 2012-06-08 09:47:04
Also in: linux-mm
Subsystem: memory management - core, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

This flag is used to indicate to the callees that this allocation will be
serviced to the kernel. It is not supposed to be passed by the callers
of kmem_cache_alloc, but rather by the cache core itself.
