Vlastimil Babka 1ce20c28ea slab: handle pfmemalloc slabs properly with sheaves
When a pfmemalloc allocation actually dips into reserves, the slab is
marked accordingly and non-pfmemalloc allocations should not be allowed
to allocate from it. The sheaves percpu caching currently doesn't follow
this rule, so implement it before we expand sheaves usage to all caches.

Make sure objects from pfmemalloc slabs don't end up in percpu sheaves.
When freeing, skip sheaves when freeing an object from pfmemalloc slab.
When refilling sheaves, use __GFP_NOMEMALLOC to override any pfmemalloc
context - the allocation will fallback to regular slab allocations when
sheaves are depleted and can't be refilled because of the override.

For kfree_rcu(), detect pfmemalloc slabs after processing the rcu_sheaf
after the grace period in __rcu_free_sheaf_prepare() and simply flush
it if any object is from pfmemalloc slabs.

For prefilled sheaves, try to refill them first with __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
and if it fails, retry without __GFP_NOMEMALLOC but then mark the sheaf
pfmemalloc, which makes it flushed back to slabs when returned.

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 reStructuredText 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.
