Subject[PATCH] mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects-fix
Date
Paul reports [1] lockdep splat HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected.
Kernel test robot reports [2] BUG:sleeping_function_called_from_invalid_context_at_mm/page_alloc.c

The stack trace might be saved from contexts where we can't block so GFP_KERNEL
is unsafe. So Use GFP_NOWAIT. Under memory pressure we might thus fail to save
some new unique stack, but that should be extremely rare.
