Fanotify queues of unlimited length do not expect events can be lost. Since these queues are used for system auditing and other security related tasks, loosing events can even have security implications. Currently, since the allocation is small (32-bytes), it cannot fail however when we start accounting events in memcgs, allocation can start failing. So avoid loosing events due to failure to allocate memory by making event allocation use __GFP_NOFAIL. Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
