You don't want to depend on the implementation of the page allocator to never return NULL for orders < PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER with GFP_KERNEL, it could possibly change in the future and we wouldn't catch your dependency in send_flowc(). The size object size of the skbuff_head_cache slab cache could also change. You don't need the suggested pr_warn(), though, since the page allocation failure warning would also be noisy enough. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
