Mel Gorman c988dcbecf mm/page_alloc: treat RT tasks similar to __GFP_HIGH
RT tasks are allowed to dip below the min reserve but ALLOC_HARDER is
typically combined with ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE so RT tasks are a little
unusual.  While there is some justification for allowing RT tasks access
to memory reserves, there is a strong chance that a RT task that is also
under memory pressure is at risk of missing deadlines anyway.  Relax how
much reserves an RT task can access by treating it the same as __GFP_HIGH
allocations.

Note that in a future kernel release that the RT special casing will be
removed.  Hard realtime tasks should be locking down resources in advance
and ensuring enough memory is available.  Even a soft-realtime task like
audio or video live decoding which cannot jitter should be allocating both
memory and any disk space required up-front before the recording starts
instead of relying on reserves.  At best, reserve access will only delay
the problem by a very short interval.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
