[PATCH v4 1/3] vduse: avoid using __GFP_NOFAIL

[Barry Song <21cnbao@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

mm doesn't support non-blockable __GFP_NOFAIL allocation. Because
persisting in providing __GFP_NOFAIL services for non-block users
who cannot perform direct memory reclaim may only result in an
endless busy loop.

Therefore, in such cases, the current mm-core may directly return
a NULL pointer:

static inline struct page *
__alloc_pages_slowpath(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order,
                                                struct alloc_context *ac)
{
        ...
        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NOFAIL) {
                /*
                 * All existing users of the __GFP_NOFAIL are blockable, so warn
                 * of any new users that actually require GFP_NOWAIT
                 */
                if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(!can_direct_reclaim, gfp_mask))
                        goto fail;
                ...
        }
        ...
fail:
        warn_alloc(gfp_mask, ac->nodemask,
                        "page allocation failure: order:%u", order);
got_pg:
        return page;
}

Unfortuantely, vpda does that nofail allocation under non-sleepable
lock. A possible way to fix that is to move the pages allocation out
of the lock into the caller, but having to allocate a huge number of
pages and auxiliary page array seems to be problematic as well per
Tetsuon: " You should implement proper error handling instead of
using __GFP_NOFAIL if count can become large."

So I choose another way, which does not release kernel bounce pages
when user tries to register userspace bounce pages. Then we can
avoid allocating in paths where failure is not expected.(e.g in
the release). We pay this for more memory usage as we don't release
kernel bounce pages but further optimizations could be done on top.
