io_uring: retry bulk slab allocs as single allocs

axboe · axboe · commit fd6fab2cb78d · 2019-03-18T10:44:44.000-06:00
I've seen cases where bulk alloc fails, since the bulk alloc API
is all-or-nothing - either we get the number we ask for, or it
returns 0 as number of entries.

If we fail a batch bulk alloc, retry a "normal" kmem_cache_alloc()
and just use that instead of failing with -EAGAIN.

While in there, ensure we use GFP_KERNEL. That was an oversight in
the original code, when we switched away from GFP_ATOMIC.
