Subject: [PATCH 0/8] __vmalloc() and no-block support
Date: Thu,  7 Aug 2025 09:58:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807075810.358714-1-urezki@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello.

This is a second series of making __vmalloc() to support GFP_ATOMIC and
GFP_NOWAIT flags. It tends to improve the non-blocking behaviour.

The first one can be found here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250704152537.55724-1-urezki@gmail.com/

that was an RFC. Using this series for testing i have not found more
places which can trigger: scheduling during atomic. Though there is
one which requires attention. I will explain in [1].

Please note, non-blocking gets improved in the __vmalloc() call only,
i.e. vmalloc_huge() still contains in its paths many cond_resched()
points and can not be used as non-blocking as of now.

[1] The vmap_pages_range_noflush() contains the kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush()
external implementation for KCSAN specifically which is hard coded to GFP_KERNEL.
The kernel should be built with CONFIG_KCSAN option. To me it looks like not
straight forward to run such kernel on my box, therefore i need more time to
investigate what is wrong with CONFIG_KCSAN and my env.
