Dennis Zhou 72682b162d percpu: add __GFP_NORETRY semantics to the percpu balancing path
commit 47504ee04b upstream.

Percpu memory using the vmalloc area based chunk allocator lazily
populates chunks by first requesting the full virtual address space
required for the chunk and subsequently adding pages as allocations come
through. To ensure atomic allocations can succeed, a workqueue item is
used to maintain a minimum number of empty pages. In certain scenarios,
such as reported in [1], it is possible that physical memory becomes
quite scarce which can result in either a rather long time spent trying
to find free pages or worse, a kernel panic.

This patch adds support for __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN passing them
through to the underlying allocators. This should prevent any
unnecessary panics potentially caused by the workqueue item. The passing
of gfp around is as additional flags rather than a full set of flags.
The next patch will change these to caller passed semantics.

V2:
Added const modifier to gfp flags in the balance path.
Removed an extra whitespace.

*
* This file is released under the GPLv2.
*
* Chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using gfp
* allocation. This is to be used on nommu architectures.
*
* To use percpu-km,
*
* - define CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM from the arch Kconfig.
*
* - CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK must not be defined. It's
* not compatible with PER_CPU_KM. EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK should work
* fine.
*
* - NUMA is not supported. When setting up the first chunk,
* @cpu_distance_fn should be NULL or report all CPUs to be nearer
* than or at LOCAL_DISTANCE.
*
* - It's best if the chunk size is power of two multiple of
* PAGE_SIZE. Because each chunk is allocated as a contiguous
* kernel memory block using alloc_pages(), memory will be wasted if
* chunk size is not aligned. percpu-km code will whine about it.
