DESCRIPTION

16       Allocates a new inode for given superblock. The default gfp_mask for
17       allocations related to inode->i_mapping is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. If
18       HIGHMEM pages are unsuitable or it is known that pages allocated for
19       the page cache are not reclaimable or migratable, mapping_set_gfp_mask
20       must be called with suitable flags on the newly created inode's mapping
