GFP_ATOMIC doesn't cooperate well with memcg pressure so far, especially if we allocate too much GFP_ATOMIC memory. For example, when we set the memcg limit to limit a non-preallocated bpf memory, the GFP_ATOMIC can easily break the memcg limit by force charge. So it is very dangerous to use GFP_ATOMIC in non-preallocated case. One way to make it safe is to remove __GFP_HIGH from GFP_ATOMIC, IOW, use (__GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) instead, then it will be limited if we allocate too much memory. There's a plan to completely remove __GFP_ATOMIC in the mm side[1], so let's use GFP_NOWAIT instead. We introduced BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is because full map pre-allocation is too memory expensive for some cases. That means removing __GFP_HIGH doesn't break the rule of BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC, but has the same goal with it-avoiding issues caused by too much memory. So let's remove it. This fix can also apply to other run-time allocations, for example, the allocation in lpm trie, local storage and devmap. So let fix it consistently over the bpf code It also fixes a typo in the comment.
