#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu.git master
As I don't have a great idea how to best test this, I'm going to just
run it against syzbot. Locally simple allocation tests seem fine. Though
it may require the second patch as well to enable pass through of the
following flags.
I will send a patchset if the syzbot results look good. This changes the
balance path to use __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN.
Thanks,
Dennis
