Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm, memcg: use consistent gfp flags during readahead
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>
Vladimir has noticed that we might declare memcg oom even during
readahead because read_pages only uses GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp
restriction) while __do_page_cache_readahead uses
page_cache_alloc_readahead which adds __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from
OOMs. This gfp mask discrepancy is really unfortunate and easily
fixable. Drop page_cache_alloc_readahead() which only has one user
and outsource the gfp_mask logic into readahead_gfp_mask and propagate
this mask from __do_page_cache_readahead down to read_pages.
This alone would have only very limited impact as most filesystems
are implementing ->readpages and the common implementation
mpage_readpages does GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) again.
We can tell it to use readahead_gfp_mask instead as this function is
called only during readahead as well. The same applies to
read_cache_pages.
ext4 has its own ext4_mpage_readpages but the path which has pages !=
NULL can use the same gfp mask.
Btrfs, cifs, f2fs and orangefs are doing a very similar pattern to
mpage_readpages so the same can be applied to them as well.

Hi,
an alternative solution for ->readpages part would be add the gfp mask
as a new argument. This would be a larger change and I am not even sure
it would be so much better. An explicit usage of the readahead gfp mask
sounds like easier to track. If there is a general agreement this is a
proper way to go I can rework the patch to do so, of course.
Does this make sense?
