Hi Linus,
This pull request contains a fix for sporadically failing atomic percpu
allocations. I only caught it recently while I was reviewing a new
series [1] and simultaneously saw reports by btrfs in xfstests [2] and
[3].
In v5.9, memcg accounting was extended to percpu done by adding a second
type of chunk. I missed an interaction with the free page float count
used to ensure we can support atomic allocations. If 1 type of chunk has
no free pages, but the other has enough to satisfy the free page float
requirement, we will not repopulate the free pages for the former type
of chunk. This led to sporadically failing atomic allocations.
