mainlining shenanigans
95d6c701f4
Extracted from slab.h, which seems to have the most complete version including the correct might_sleep() check. Roll it out to slob.c. Motivated by a discussion with Paul about possibly changing call_rcu behaviour to allocate memory, but only roughly every 500th call. There are a lot fewer places in the kernel that care about whether allocating memory is allowed or not (due to deadlocks with reclaim code) than places that care whether sleeping is allowed. But debugging these also tends to be a lot harder, so nice descriptive checks could come in handy. I might have some use eventually for annotations in drivers/gpu. Note that unlike fs_reclaim_acquire/release gfpflags_allow_blocking does not consult the PF_MEMALLOC flags. But there is no flag equivalent for GFP_NOWAIT, hence this check can't go wrong due to memalloc_no*_save/restore contexts. Willy is working on a patch series which might change this: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200625113122.7540-7-willy@infradead.org/ I think best would be if that updates gfpflags_allow_blocking(), since there's a ton of callers all over the place for that already.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
