Merge branch 'for-5.12-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dennis/percpu
Pull percpu fix from Dennis Zhou:
"This contains a fix for sporadically failing atomic percpu
allocations.
I only caught it recently while I was reviewing a new series [1] and
simultaneously saw reports by btrfs in xfstests [2] and [3].
In v5.9, memcg accounting was extended to percpu done by adding a
second type of chunk. I missed an interaction with the free page float
count used to ensure we can support atomic allocations. If one type of
chunk has no free pages, but the other has enough to satisfy the free
page float requirement, we will not repopulate the free pages for the
former type of chunk. This led to the sporadically failing atomic
allocations"
