Ok I read up on your usage of GFP_ATOMIC in habanalabs, and I'm not
going to touch this. But I'm pretty sure it's broken.
You seem to have some requirement of not allocating memory with
blocking (see hl_cb_alloc()), and that seems to be way you allocate
tons of structures with GFP_ATOMIC. There's 2 pretty tough problems
with that:
- GFP_ATOMIC can fail, even when the system hasn't run out of memory
yet. You _must_ have a fallback back to handle allocation failures for
these. Quick survey shows you a ton of GFP_ATOMIC callsites, and very
little fallback code - I've found none, but I didn't check the failure
handlers all going up the possible callchains.
- pin_user_pages can allocate memory, so you're breaking your own "no
sleeping in these paths" rules.
This isn't going to get fixed with a quick oneliner patch, depending
what's needed you're looking at a driver rearchitecture here :-/ Hence
I'm not going to touch this in the next patch, but leave it all as-is.
