commit 47504ee04b9241548ae2c28be7d0b01cff3b7aa6 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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
