virtio_transport_send_pkt in now called on transport fast path,
under RCU read lock. In that case, we have a bug: virtio_add_sgs
is called with GFP_KERNEL, and might sleep.

Pass the gfp flags as an argument, and use GFP_ATOMIC on
the fast path.

Lightly tested. Christian, could you pls confirm this fixes the problem
for you? Stefano, it's a holiday here - could you pls help test!

Sure, thanks for the quick fix! I was thinking something similar ;-)

Thanks!

I'll run some tests and come back with R-b when it's done.

I replicated the issue enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP.

With that enabled, as soon as I run iperf-vsock, dmesg is flooded with those messages. With this patch applied instead everything is fine.

I also ran the usual tests with various debugging options enabled and everything seems okay.

With or without adding the comment I suggested in the previous email:
