[RFC v1 5/5] maple_tree: replace preallocation with slub percpu array prefill

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Tue Aug 08 2023 - 12:35:35 EST


With the percpu array we can try not doing the preallocations in maple
tree, and instead make sure the percpu array is prefilled, and using
GFP_ATOMIC in places that relied on the preallocation (in case we miss
or fail trylock on the array), i.e. mas_store_prealloc(). For now simply
add __GFP_NOFAIL there as well.

First I tried to change mas_node_count_gfp() to not preallocate anything
anywhere, but that lead to warns and panics, even though the other
caller mas_node_count() uses GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN so it has no
guarantees... So I changed just mas_preallocate(). I let it still to
truly preallocate a single node, but maybe it's not necessary?
