scsi: core: replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in scsi_scan.c
We had a test-report where, under memory pressure, adding LUNs to the systems would fail (the tests add LUNs strictly in sequence): [ 5525.853432] scsi 0:0:1:1088045124: Direct-Access IBM 2107900 .148 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 5525.853826] scsi 0:0:1:1088045124: alua: supports implicit TPGS [ 5525.853830] scsi 0:0:1:1088045124: alua: device naa.6005076303ffd32700000000000044da port group 0 rel port 43 [ 5525.853931] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: Attached scsi generic sg10 type 0 [ 5525.854075] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: [sdk] Disabling DIF Type 1 protection [ 5525.855495] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: [sdk] 2097152 512-byte logical blocks: (1.07 GB/1.00 GiB) [ 5525.855606] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: [sdk] Write Protect is off [ 5525.855609] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: [sdk] Mode Sense: ed 00 00 08 [ 5525.855795] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: [sdk] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 5525.857838] sdk: sdk1 [ 5525.859468] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: [sdk] Attached SCSI disk [ 5525.865073] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: alua: transition timeout set to 60 seconds [ 5525.865078] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: alua: port group 00 state A preferred supports tolusnA [ 5526.015070] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: alua: port group 00 state A preferred supports tolusnA [ 5526.015213] sd 0:0:1:1088045124: alua: port group 00 state A preferred supports tolusnA [ 5526.587439] scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured [ 5526.588562] scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured Looking at the code of scsi_alloc_sdev(), and all the calling contexts, there seems to be no reason to use GFP_ATMOIC here. All the different call-contexts use a mutex at some point, and nothing in between that requires no sleeping, as far as I could see. Additionally, the code that later allocates the block queue for the device (scsi_mq_alloc_queue()) already uses GFP_KERNEL. There are similar allocations in two other functions: scsi_probe_and_add_lun(), and scsi_add_lun(),; that can also be done with GFP_KERNEL. Here is the contexts for the three functions so far: scsi_alloc_sdev() scsi_probe_and_add_lun() scsi_sequential_lun_scan() __scsi_scan_target() scsi_scan_target() mutex_lock() scsi_scan_channel() scsi_scan_host_selected() mutex_lock() scsi_report_lun_scan() __scsi_scan_target() ... __scsi_add_device() mutex_lock() __scsi_scan_target() ... scsi_report_lun_scan() ... scsi_get_host_dev() mutex_lock() scsi_probe_and_add_lun() ... scsi_add_lun() scsi_probe_and_add_lun() ... So replace all these, and give them a bit of a better chance to succeed, with more chances of reclaim.
