commit fa23e0d4b756d25829e124d6b670a4c6bbd4bf7e upstream.
Sven Auhagen reports transaction failures with following error:
./main.nft:13:1-26: Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory
percpu: allocation failed, size=16 align=8 atomic=1, atomic alloc failed, no space left
This points to failing pcpu allocation with GFP_ATOMIC flag.
However, transactions happen from user context and are allowed to sleep.
One case where we can call into percpu allocator with GFP_ATOMIC is
nft_counter expression.
Normally this happens from control plane, so this could use GFP_KERNEL
instead. But one use case, element insertion from packet path,
needs to use GFP_ATOMIC allocations (nft_dynset expression).
At this time, .clone callbacks always use GFP_ATOMIC for this reason.
Add gfp_t argument to the .clone function and pass GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_ATOMIC flag depending on context, this allows all clone memory
allocations to sleep for the normal (transaction) case.
