Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: let GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocs access
highatomic reserves
Under memory pressure it's possible for GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocations to
fail even though free pages are available in the highatomic reserves.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations cannot trigger unreserve_highatomic_pageblock()
since it's only run from reclaim.
Given that such allocations will pass the watermarks in
__zone_watermark_unusable_free(), it makes sense to fallback to highatomic
reserves the same way that ALLOC_OOM can.
This fixes order-0 page allocation failures observed on Cloudflare's fleet
when handling network packets:
kswapd1: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x820(GFP_ATOMIC),
nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-7
