Roman Gushchin 5689666aa1 bpf: allocate local storage buffers using GFP_ATOMIC
[ Upstream commit 569a933b03 ]

Naresh reported an issue with the non-atomic memory allocation of
cgroup local storage buffers:

[   73.047526] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at
/srv/oe/build/tmp-rpb-glibc/work-shared/intel-corei7-64/kernel-source/mm/slab.h:421
[   73.060915] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 3157, name: test_cgroup_sto

[   73.109909]  cgroup_storage_update_elem+0x46/0x90

cgroup_storage_update_elem() (as well as other update map update
callbacks) is called with disabled preemption, so GFP_ATOMIC
allocation should be used: e.g. alloc_htab_elem() in hashtab.c.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
