To update xlt (during mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr()), the driver can request up to 1 MB (order-8) memory, depending on the size of the MR. This costly allocation can sometimes take very long to return (a few seconds). This causes the calling application to hang for a long time, especially when the system is fragmented. To avoid these long latency spikes, the calls the higher order allocations need to fail faster in case they are not available. In order to acheive this we need __GFP_NORETRY flag in the gfp_mask before during fetching the free pages. Allow the algorithm to automatically fall back to smaller page sizes.

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.
