+ * gfpflags_normal_context - is gfp_flags a normal sleepable context?
+ * @gfp_flags: gfp_flags to test
+ *
+ * Test whether @gfp_flags indicates that the allocation is from the
+ * %current context and allowed to sleep.
+ *
+ * An allocation being allowed to block doesn't mean it owns the %current
+ * context. When direct reclaim path tries to allocate memory, the
+ * allocation context is nested inside whatever %current was doing at the
+ * time of the original allocation. The nested allocation may be allowed
+ * to block but modifying anything %current owns can corrupt the outer
+ * context's expectations.
+ *
+ * %true result from this function indicates that the allocation context
+ * can sleep and use anything that's associated with %current.
