In internal testing of test_maps, we sometimes observed failures like:
test_maps: test_maps.c:173: void test_hashmap_percpu(unsigned int, void *):
Assertion `bpf_map_update_elem(fd, &key, value, BPF_ANY) == 0' failed.
where the errno is ENOMEM. After some troubleshooting and enabling
the warnings, we saw:

This makes sense, because in atomic context, percpu allocation would
not create new chunks; it would only create in non-atomic contexts.
And if during prefill all precpu chunks are full, -ENOMEM would
happen immediately upon next unit_alloc.
Prefill phase does not actually run in atomic context, so we can
use this fact to allocate non-atomically with GFP_KERNEL instead
of GFP_NOWAIT. This avoids the immediate -ENOMEM.
GFP_NOWAIT has to be used in unit_alloc when bpf program runs
in atomic context. Even if bpf program runs in non-atomic context,
in most cases, rcu read lock is enabled for the program so
GFP_NOWAIT is still needed. This is often also the case for
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM syscalls.

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.
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.
