[ Upstream commitf255c19b3a] Similarly to commit457e490f2b("blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq outside request queue spinlock"), blkg_create can also trigger occasional -ENOMEM failures at the radix insertion because any allocation inside blkg_create has to be non-blocking, making it more likely to fail. This causes trouble for userspace tools trying to configure io weights who need to deal with this condition. This patch reduces the occurrence of -ENOMEMs on this path by preloading the radix tree element on a GFP_KERNEL context, such that we guarantee the later non-blocking insertion won't fail. A similar solution exists in blkcg_init_queue for the same situation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
