Revision df9576def004d2cd5beedc00cb6e8901427634b9 authored by Yang Shi on 03 August 2019, 04:48:37 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 03 August 2019, 14:02:00 UTC
When running ltp's oom test with kmemleak enabled, the below warning was
triggerred since kernel detects __GFP_NOFAIL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is
passed in:

  WARNING: CPU: 105 PID: 2138 at mm/page_alloc.c:4608 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1c31/0x1d50

The mempool_alloc_slab() clears __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, however kmemleak
has __GFP_NOFAIL set all the time due to d9570ee3bd1d4f2 ("kmemleak:
allow to coexist with fault injection").  But, it doesn't make any sense
to have __GFP_NOFAIL and ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM specified at the same
time.

According to the discussion on the mailing list, the commit should be
reverted for short term solution.  Catalin Marinas would follow up with
a better solution for longer term.

The failure rate of kmemleak metadata allocation may increase in some
circumstances, but this should be expected side effect.
