    memcg: unify force charging conditions · 1461e8c2
    Shakeel Butt authored
    Currently the kernel force charges the allocations which have __GFP_HIGH
    flag without triggering the memory reclaim.  __GFP_HIGH indicates that
    the caller is high priority and since commit 869712fd ("mm:
    memcontrol: fix network errors from failing __GFP_ATOMIC charges") the
    kernel lets such allocations do force charging.  Please note that
    __GFP_ATOMIC has been replaced by __GFP_HIGH.
    
    __GFP_HIGH does not tell if the caller can block or can trigger reclaim.
    There are separate checks to determine that.  So, there is no need to
    skip reclaiming for __GFP_HIGH allocations.  So, handle __GFP_HIGH
    together with __GFP_NOFAIL which also does force charging.
    
    Please note that this is a noop change as there are no __GFP_HIGH
    allocators in the kernel which also have __GFP_ACCOUNT (or SLAB_ACCOUNT)
    and does not allow reclaim for now.
