I've seen cases where bulk alloc fails, since the bulk alloc API is all-or-nothing - either we get the number we ask for, or it returns 0 as number of entries. If we fail a batch bulk alloc, retry a "normal" kmem_cache_alloc() and just use that instead of failing with -EAGAIN. While in there, ensure we use GFP_KERNEL. That was an oversight in the original code, when we switched away from GFP_ATOMIC. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
