Since gfp & GFP_ATOMIC == GFP_ATOMIC is true for GFP_KERNEL | GFP_HIGH, it
will use kmalloc if user specifies that combination. Here the reason why
combining the __vmalloc_node() and kmalloc_node() is that the vmalloc does
not support all GFP flag, especially GFP_ATOMIC. So we should check if
gfp & (GFP_ATOMIC | GFP_KERNEL) != GFP_ATOMIC for vmalloc first. This
ensures caller can sleep. And for the robustness, even if vmalloc fails,
it should retry with kmalloc to allocate it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
