I found it, I was using master, instead of auto-latest (is it correct?)
But now I see something that I do not understand (apologies if I'm
asking something obvious).

First there is:

[...]
#define ___GFP_WRITE 0x800000u
#define ___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM 0x1000000u
#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
#define ___GFP_NOLOCKDEP 0x4000000u
#else
#define ___GFP_NOLOCKDEP 0
#endif

Then:

/* Room for N __GFP_FOO bits */
#define __GFP_BITS_SHIFT (25 + IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOCKDEP))



Shouldn't it be either:
___GFP_NOLOCKDEP 0x2000000u

or:

#define __GFP_BITS_SHIFT (25 + 2 * IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOCKDEP))


thanks, igor
