Unconditionally calling radix_tree_preload_end() results in a OOPS message as the preload is only conditionally called for gfpflags_allow_blocking(). [ 20.267323] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: fio/416 [ 20.267837] caller is brd_insert_page.part.0+0xbe/0x190 [brd] [ 20.269436] Call Trace: [ 20.269598] <TASK> [ 20.269742] dump_stack_lvl+0x32/0x50 [ 20.269982] check_preemption_disabled+0xd1/0xe0 [ 20.270289] brd_insert_page.part.0+0xbe/0x190 [brd] [ 20.270664] brd_submit_bio+0x33f/0xf40 [brd] Use radix_tree_maybe_preload() which does preload only if gfpflags_allow_blocking() is true but also takes the lock. Therefore, unconditionally calling radix_tree_preload_end() should not create any issues and the message disappears.
