Every site that does a find_or_create()-style allocation is converted to pass this refault information to the page_cache_alloc() family of functions, which in turn passes it down to the page allocator via current->refault_distance.That is rather icky..Fair enough, I just went with the easier solution to get things off the ground instead of dealing with adding an extra parameter to layers of config-dependent gfp API. I'll revisit this for v2.
