From 4b59e6c4730978679b414a8da61514a2518da512 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:06:11 -0700 Subject: mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.
