objpool intends to use vmalloc for default (non-atomic) allocations of
percpu slots and objects. However, the condition checking if GFP flags
are equal to GFP_ATOMIC is wrong and causes kmalloc to be used in most
cases (even if GFP_KERNEL is requested). Since kmalloc cannot allocate
large amounts of memory, this may lead to unexpected OOM errors.
For instance, objpool is used by fprobe rethook which in turn is used by
BPF kretprobe.multi and kprobe.session probe types. Trying to attach
these to all kernel functions with libbpf using
SEC("kprobe.session/*")
int kprobe(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
[...]
}
fails on objpool slot allocation with ENOMEM.
Fix the condition to truly use vmalloc by default.
