alloc_tag: handle incomplete bulk allocations in vm_module_tags_populate
alloc_pages_bulk_node() may partially succeed and allocate fewer than the
requested nr_pages. There are several conditions under which this can
occur, but we have encountered the case where CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER is enabled
causing all bulk allocations to always fallback to single page allocations
due to commit 187ad460b841 ("mm/page_alloc: avoid page allocator recursion
with pagesets.lock held").
Currently vm_module_tags_populate() immediately fails when
alloc_pages_bulk_node() returns fewer than the requested number of pages.
When this happens memory allocation profiling gets disabled, for example
[ 14.297583] [9: modprobe: 465] Failed to allocate memory for allocation tags in the module scsc_wlan. Memory allocation profiling is disabled!
[ 14.299339] [9: modprobe: 465] modprobe: Failed to insmod '/vendor/lib/modules/scsc_wlan.ko' with args '': Out of memory
This patch causes vm_module_tags_populate() to retry bulk allocations for
the remaining memory instead of failing immediately which will avoid the
disablement of memory allocation profiling.
