 /*
+ * gfp flag masking for nested internal allocations.
+ *
+ * For code that needs to do allocations inside the public allocation API (e.g.
+ * memory allocation tracking code) the allocations need to obey the caller
+ * allocation context constrains to prevent allocation context mismatches (e.g.
+ * GFP_KERNEL allocations in GFP_NOFS contexts) from potential deadlock
+ * situations.
+ *
+ * It is also assumed that these nested allocations are for internal kernel
+ * object storage purposes only and are not going to be used for DMA, etc. Hence
+ * we strip out all the zone information and leave just the context information
+ * intact.
+ *
+ * Further, internal allocations must fail before the higher level allocation
+ * can fail, so we must make them fail faster and fail silently. We also don't
+ * want them to deplete emergency reserves.  Hence nested allocations must be
+ * prepared for these allocations to fail.
