Why am I missing? Me being stupid, I guess. OK, so I can put WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on the early boot creation of RCU's workqueue_struct as shown below, right? Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ commit 9884a945a65837cda6de2ff621d47c59a6ca3e28 Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 8 14:35:52 2018 -0800 rcu: Create RCU-specific workqueues with rescuers RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being memory available to create more. This commit prevents such deadlocks by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress. This uses the shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly). This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific workqueue_struct. Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress viewpoint.
