Blame the BPF people, not the MM people ;-)
Heh, not really. ;-)
Yes. kvmalloc (the vmalloc part) doesn't support GFP_ATOMIC semantic.
Agree, that doesn't work.
Bug was added in commit 0bf7800f1799 ("ptr_ring: try vmalloc() when kmalloc()
fails").
Jason, please take a look at fixing this, thanks!
It looks to me the only solution is to revert that commit.
Do you really need this to be GFP_ATOMIC? I can see some callers are
under RCU read lock but can we perhaps do the allocation outside of this
section?
If I understand the code correctly, the code would be called by XDP program
(usually run inside a bh) which makes it hard to do this.
Rethink of this, we can probably test gfp and not call kvmalloc if GFP_ATOMIC
is set in __ptr_ring_init_queue_alloc().
That would be one option indeed (probably useful in any case to make the API
more robust). Another one is to just not use GFP_ATOMIC in cpumap. Looking at
it, update can neither be called out of a BPF prog since prevented by verifier
nor under RCU reader side when updating this type of map from syscall path.
Jesper, any concrete reason we still need GFP_ATOMIC here?
Allocations in cpumap (related to ptr_ring) should only be possible to
be initiated through userspace via bpf-syscall.
I see verifier guarantees this.
Thus, there isn't any
reason for GFP_ATOMIC here.
Want me to send a patch to remove GFP_ATOMIC here?
Thanks
