From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc, __aa_kvmalloc) because those seems to be
broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible
in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those
need to be fixed separately.
apparmor has already claimed kv[mz]alloc so remove those and use
__aa_kvmalloc instead to prevent from the naming clashes.

Hi,
this has been brought up during [1] discussion. I think we are long overdue
with kvmalloc helpers provided by the core mm code. There are so many users
out there. This patch doesn't try to convert all existing users. I have just
tried to identified those who have invented their own helpers. There are many
others who are openconding that. This is something for a coccinelle script to
automate.
While looking into this I have encountered many (as noted in the
changelog) users who are broken. Especially GFP_NOFS users which might
go down the vmalloc path are worrying. Those need to be fixed but that
is out of scope of this patch. I have simply left them in the place. A proper
fix for them is to not use GFP_NOFS and rather move over to a scope gfp_nofs
api [2]. This will take quite some time though.
One thing I haven't considered in this patch - but I can if there is a demand -
is that the current callers of kv[mz]alloc cannot really override GFP_NORETRY
for larger requests. This flag is implicit. I can imagine some users would
rather prefer to retry hard before falling back to vmalloc though. There doesn't
seem to be any such user in the tree right now AFAICS. vhost_kvzalloc
used __GFP_REPEAT but git history doesn't show any sign there would be a strong
reason for that. I might be wrong here. If that is the case then it is not a problem
to do
/*
* Make sure that larger requests are not too disruptive as long as
* the caller doesn't insist by giving __GFP_REPEAT. No OOM
* killer and no allocation failure warnings as we have a fallback
* is done by default.
*/
if (size > PAGE_SZE) {
kmalloc_flags |= __GFP_NOWARN;
if (!(flags & __GFP_REPEAT))
flags |= __GFP_NORETRY;
}
