From 949d49ec306dfca51d63d89bc316211a2a008cfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 07:05:51 -0400 Subject: dm kcopyd: use __GFP_HIGHMEM when allocating pages dm-kcopyd doesn't access the allocated pages directly, it only passes them to dm-io which adds them to a bio list - thus, we can allocate the pages from high memory. This will reduce pressure on the low memory when there are a large number of kcopyd jobs in progress.
