Subject: [PATCH 4.14 30/48] blk-cgroup: Pre-allocate tree node on blkg_conf_prep

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@...labora.com>

[ Upstream commit f255c19b3ab46d3cad3b1b2e1036f4c926cb1d0c ]

Similarly to commit 457e490f2b741 ("blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq
outside request queue spinlock"), blkg_create can also trigger
occasional -ENOMEM failures at the radix insertion because any
allocation inside blkg_create has to be non-blocking, making it more
likely to fail.  This causes trouble for userspace tools trying to
configure io weights who need to deal with this condition.

This patch reduces the occurrence of -ENOMEMs on this path by preloading
the radix tree element on a GFP_KERNEL context, such that we guarantee
the later non-blocking insertion won't fail.

A similar solution exists in blkcg_init_queue for the same situation.
