I only had a quick look at this, but I think the issue should be fixed
with:

diff --git a/net/core/net-sysfs.c b/net/core/net-sysfs.c
index e16d54aabd4c..3ae3c20eb64c 100644
--- a/net/core/net-sysfs.c

nr_ids = dev_maps ? dev_maps->nr_ids :

- mask = bitmap_zalloc(nr_ids, GFP_KERNEL);
+ mask = bitmap_zalloc(nr_ids, GFP_ATOMIC);
if (!mask) {
rcu_read_unlock();
return -ENOMEM;

I'll run some tests and send a fix.

sysfs isn't a good reason to use GFP_ATOMIC.

try something like this:

- mask = bitmap_zalloc(nr_ids, GFP_KERNEL);
+ mask = bitmap_zalloc(nr_ids, GFP_NOWAIT);
if (!mask) {
+ int new_nr_ids;
+
rcu_read_unlock();

+ /* if nr_ids shrank while we slept, do not overrun array.

+ */
+ new_nr_ids = dev_maps ? dev_maps->nr_ids :

+ if (new_nr_ids < nr_ids)
+ nr_ids = new_nr_ids;

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that. We could also just
return -ENOMEM if the first allocation fails, retrying adds a lot of
complexity.

I agree that the retry logic is probably unneeded. In addition we
probably don't need GFP_ATOMIC as GFP_NOWAIT will probably be good
enough as the allocation can fail and just return an -ENOMEM in the
case of low memory.

Thanks.
