Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] workqueue: Inherit per-process allocation flags
For drivers/modules running inside a memalloc_flags_{save,restore}
region, if a work-queue is created, we make sure work executed on the
work-queue inherits the same flag(s).
This in order to conditionally enable drivers to work aligned with
block I/O devices. This commit makes sure that any work queued later
on work-queues created during module initialization, when current's
flags has any of the PF_MEMALLOC* set, will inherit the same flags.
We do this in order to enable drivers to be used as a network block
I/O device. This in order to support XFS or other file-systems on top
of a raw block device which uses said drivers as the network transport
layer.
Under intense memory pressure, we get memory reclaims. Assume the
file-system reclaims memory, goes to the raw block device, which calls
into said drivers. Now, if regular GFP_KERNEL allocations in the
drivers require reclaims to be fulfilled, we end up in a circular
dependency.
We break this circular dependency by:
1. Force all allocations in the drivers to use GFP_NOIO, by means of a
parenthetic use of memalloc_flags_{save,restore} on all relevant
entry points, setting/clearing the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO bit.
2. Make sure work-queues inherits current->flags
wrt. PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO, such that work executed on the
work-queue inherits the same flag(s). That is what this commit
contributes with.
