[Devel] [PATCH rh7 11/21] ms/mm: memcontrol: retry reclaim for oom-disabled and __GFP_NOFAIL charges

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes at cmpxchg.org>

There is no reason why oom-disabled and __GFP_NOFAIL charges should try
to reclaim only once when every other charge tries several times before
giving up.  Make them all retry the same number of times.
