Gao Xiang has reported that the page allocator complains about high order __GFP_NOFAIL request coming from the vmalloc core: __alloc_pages+0x1cb/0x5b0 mm/page_alloc.c:5549 alloc_pages+0x1aa/0x270 mm/mempolicy.c:2286 vm_area_alloc_pages mm/vmalloc.c:2989 [inline] __vmalloc_area_node mm/vmalloc.c:3057 [inline] __vmalloc_node_range+0x978/0x13c0 mm/vmalloc.c:3227 kvmalloc_node+0x156/0x1a0 mm/util.c:606 kvmalloc include/linux/slab.h:737 [inline] kvmalloc_array include/linux/slab.h:755 [inline] kvcalloc include/linux/slab.h:760 [inline] it seems that I have completely missed high order allocation backing vmalloc areas case when implementing __GFP_NOFAIL support. This means that [k]vmalloc at al. can allocate higher order allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL which can trigger OOM killer for non-costly orders easily or cause a lot of reclaim/compaction activity if those requests cannot be satisfied. Fix the issue by falling back to zero order allocations for __GFP_NOFAIL requests if the high order request fails.
