coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocatorsgrafted
- pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by commit 7968778914e5 ("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API") - kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276 ("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()") - kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba ("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()") - kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers") So drop them from the rules. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Sang-Heon Jeon <ekffu200098@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@inria.fr>

+Description: Enable/disable demoting pages during reclaim
+
+ Page migration during reclaim is intended for systems
+ with tiered memory configurations. These systems have
+ multiple types of memory with varied performance
+ characteristics instead of plain NUMA systems where
+ the same kind of memory is found at varied distances.
+ Allowing page migration during reclaim enables these
+ systems to migrate pages from fast tiers to slow tiers
+ when the fast tier is under pressure. This migration
+ is performed before swap if an eligible numa node is
+ present in cpuset.mems for the cgroup (or if cpuset v1
+ is being used). If cpusets.mems changes at runtime, it
+ may move data to a NUMA node that does not fall into the
+ cpuset of the new cpusets.mems, which might be construed
+ to violate the guarantees of cpusets. Shared memory,
+ such as libraries, owned by another cgroup may still be
+ demoted and result in memory use on a node not present
+ in cpusets.mem. This should not be enabled on systems
+ which need strict cpuset location guarantees.
