[PATCH 05/28] mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context

2008-02-20 Thread Peter Zijlstra
Allow PF_MEMALLOC to be set in softirq context. When running softirqs from a borrowed context save current->flags, ksoftirqd will have its own task_struct. This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of PF_MEMALLOC. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---
