Subject[GIT PULL] percpu fixes for v4.16-rc6
Hello, Linus.

Late percpu pull request for v4.16-rc6.

* percpu allocator pool replenishing no longer triggers OOM or warning
messages. Also, the alloc interface now understands __GFP_NORETRY
and __GFP_NOWARN. This is to allow avoiding OOMs from userland
triggered actions like bpf map creation. Also added cond_resched()
in alloc loop.

* perpcu allocation now can be interrupted by kill sigs to avoid
deadlocking OOM killer.

* Added Dennis Zhou as a co-maintainer. He has rewritten the area map
allocator, understands most of the code base and has been responsive
for all bug reports.

Thanks.
