mm/vmalloc.c: preload a CPU with one object for split purpose
Refactor the NE_FIT_TYPE split case when it comes to an allocation of one
extra object. We need it in order to build a remaining space. The
preload is done per CPU in non-atomic context with GFP_KERNEL flags.
More permissive parameters can be beneficial for systems which are suffer
from high memory pressure or low memory condition. For example on my KVM
system(4xCPUs, no swap, 256MB RAM) i can simulate the failure of page
allocation with GFP_NOWAIT flags. Using "stress-ng" tool and starting N
workers spinning on fork() and exit(), i can trigger below trace:
