[PATCH v3 05/13] Add a __GFP_KMEMCG flag

From: Glauber Costa <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-18 14:09:24
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
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 is a
kernel allocation in process context, and should be accounted to
current's memcg. It takes numerical place of the of the recently removed
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD.
