mainlining shenanigans
82dd23e84b
Refactor the NE_FIT_TYPE split case when it comes to an allocation of one extra object. We need it in order to build a remaining space. The preload is done per CPU in non-atomic context with GFP_KERNEL flags. More permissive parameters can be beneficial for systems which are suffer from high memory pressure or low memory condition. For example on my KVM system(4xCPUs, no swap, 256MB RAM) i can simulate the failure of page allocation with GFP_NOWAIT flags. Using "stress-ng" tool and starting N workers spinning on fork() and exit(), i can trigger below trace: <snip> [ 179.815161] stress-ng-fork: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x40800(GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 [ 179.815168] CPU: 0 PID: 12612 Comm: stress-ng-fork Not tainted 5.2.0-rc3+ #1003 [ 179.815170] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1 04/01/2014 [ 179.815171] Call Trace: [ 179.815178] dump_stack+0x5c/0x7b [ 179.815182] warn_alloc+0x108/0x190 [ 179.815187] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0xdc7/0xdf0 [ 179.815191] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2de/0x330 [ 179.815194] cache_grow_begin+0x77/0x420 [ 179.815197] fallback_alloc+0x161/0x200 [ 179.815200] kmem_cache_alloc+0x1c9/0x570 [ 179.815202] alloc_vmap_area+0x32c/0x990 [ 179.815206] __get_vm_area_node+0xb0/0x170 [ 179.815208] __vmalloc_node_range+0x6d/0x230 [ 179.815211] ? _do_fork+0xce/0x3d0 [ 179.815213] copy_process.part.46+0x850/0x1b90 [ 179.815215] ? _do_fork+0xce/0x3d0 [ 179.815219] _do_fork+0xce/0x3d0 [ 179.815226] ? __do_page_fault+0x2bf/0x4e0 [ 179.815229] do_syscall_64+0x55/0x130 [ 179.815231] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 [ 179.815234] RIP: 0033:0x7fedec4c738b ...

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.
