Subject: [PATCH 5.14 041/334] io-wq: remove GFP_ATOMIC allocation off schedule out path
From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>
[ Upstream commit d3e9f732c415cf22faa33d6f195e291ad82dc92e ]
Daniel reports that the v5.14-rc4-rt4 kernel throws a BUG when running

which is due to the RT kernel not liking a GFP_ATOMIC allocation inside
a raw spinlock. Besides that not working on RT, doing any kind of
allocation from inside schedule() is kind of nasty and should be avoided
if at all possible.
This particular path happens when an io-wq worker goes to sleep, and we
need a new worker to handle pending work. We currently allocate a small
data item to hold the information we need to create a new worker, but we
can instead include this data in the io_worker struct itself and just
protect it with a single bit lock. We only really need one per worker
anyway, as we will have run pending work between to sleep cycles.
