Subject: [PATCH 5/4] dm-integrity: sleep and retry on allocation errors
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2020 07:53:05 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.02.2006020752170.25489@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200601160421.912555280@debian-a64.vm>

dm-integrity: sleep and retry on allocation errors

Some hardware crypto drivers use GFP_ATOMIC allocations in the request
routine. These allocations can randomly fail - for example, they fail if
too many network packets are received.

If we propagated the failure up to the I/O stack, it would cause I/O
errors. So, we sleep and retry.
