__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
page_table_alloc then uses the flag for a single page allocation. This
means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has
always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
An earlier attempt to remove the flag 10d58bf297 ("s390: get rid of
superfluous __GFP_REPEAT") has missed this one but the situation is very
same here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
