Subject[PATCH mm] mm: fix BUG with kvzalloc+GFP_ATOMIC
Date
Martin Zaharinov reports BUG() in mm land for 5.19.10 kernel:
kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:2437!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
CPU: 28 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/28 Tainted: G W O 5.19.9 #1
[..]
RIP: 0010:__get_vm_area_node+0x120/0x130
__vmalloc_node_range+0x96/0x1e0
kvmalloc_node+0x92/0xb0
bucket_table_alloc.isra.0+0x47/0x140
rhashtable_try_insert+0x3a4/0x440
rhashtable_insert_slow+0x1b/0x30
[..]

bucket_table_alloc uses kvzallocGPF_ATOMIC). If kmalloc fails, this now
falls through to vmalloc and hits code paths that assume GFP_KERNEL.

Revert the problematic change and stay with slab allocator.
