We have done read endio in an async thread for a very, very long time, which makes the use of GFP_ATOMIC and unlock_extent_atomic() unneeded in our read endio path. We've noticed under heavy memory pressure in our fleet that we can fail these allocations, and then often trip a BUG_ON(!allocation), which isn't an ideal outcome. Begin to address this by simply not using GFP_ATOMIC, which will allow us to do things like actually allocate a extent state when doing set_extent_bits(UPTODATE) in the endio handler. End io handlers are not called in atomic context, besides we have been allocating failrec with GFP_NOFS so we'd notice there's a problem.

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.
