When an atomic pool becomes fully depleted because it is now relied upon for all non-blocking allocations through the DMA API, allow background expansion of each pool by a kworker. When an atomic pool has less than the default size of memory left, kick off a kworker to dynamically expand the pool in the background. The pool is doubled in size, up to MAX_ORDER-1. If memory cannot be allocated at the requested order, smaller allocation(s) are attempted. This allows the default size to be kept quite low when one or more of the atomic pools is not used. Allocations for lowmem should also use GFP_KERNEL for the benefits of reclaim, so use GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA and GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA32 for lowmem allocations. This also allows __dma_atomic_pool_init() to return a pointer to the pool to make initialization cleaner. Also switch over some node ids to the more appropriate NUMA_NO_NODE.

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.
