Dennis Zhou 72682b162d percpu: add __GFP_NORETRY semantics to the percpu balancing path 
commit 47504ee04b upstream.

Percpu memory using the vmalloc area based chunk allocator lazily
populates chunks by first requesting the full virtual address space
required for the chunk and subsequently adding pages as allocations come
through. To ensure atomic allocations can succeed, a workqueue item is
used to maintain a minimum number of empty pages. In certain scenarios,
such as reported in [1], it is possible that physical memory becomes
quite scarce which can result in either a rather long time spent trying
to find free pages or worse, a kernel panic.

This patch adds support for __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN passing them
through to the underlying allocators. This should prevent any
unnecessary panics potentially caused by the workqueue item. The passing
of gfp around is as additional flags rather than a full set of flags.
The next patch will change these to caller passed semantics.

V2:
Added const modifier to gfp flags in the balance path.
Removed an extra whitespace.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
