Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] nvmet: use GFP_KERNEL for PR allocations
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 10:26:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109022646.290792-6-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109022646.290792-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com>
nvmet_pr_update_reg_attr() and nvmet_pr_alloc_and_insert_pc_ref()
allocate with GFP_ATOMIC, but both run in sleepable context: the PR
command handlers execute from the transport workqueues and take the
pr_sem semaphore, and the pc_ref allocation is reached from the
connect and configfs paths. The latter function even passes
GFP_KERNEL to the percpu_ref_init() in the same scope, so the
GFP_ATOMIC only raises the failure rate for no reason.
Switch both allocations to GFP_KERNEL.
Fixes: 5a47c2080a73 ("nvmet: support reservation feature")
