Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 10/17] dm pcache: handle non-blocking bio clone init failure
Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 03:51:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704195124.1375075-11-yukuai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260704195124.1375075-1-yukuai@kernel.org>
From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>
dm-pcache may preallocate backing requests with GFP_NOWAIT and initialize
the embedded bio with bio_init_clone(). Non-blocking clone initialization
can now fail if cloning the blkg association would need to create a blkg.
Check the return value and free the preallocated request on failure so the
existing caller can retry through its GFP_NOIO preallocation path.
