Library can be called in non-sleeping context, so it should not use
__GFP_NOFAIL. Instead it should calmly handle allocation fails, for
this __GFP_NOWARN has been added as well.

Your commit changelog is misleading .

The GFP_NOFAIL issue has been fixed already in
commit c12837d1bb31032bead9060dec99ef310d5b9fb7 ("ref_tracker: use
__GFP_NOFAIL more carefully")

This belongs to patch 3 in your series.

Simply change this line to : gfp_t gfp_mask = gfp | __GFP_NOFAIL;

Then leave all this code as is ? I find current code more readable.

lib/ref_tracker.c got patches in net-next, your patch series is going
to add conflicts.

This is fine.

I based the patchset on drm-tip, which do not have this commit, I will 
take a look how to keep drm-tip base (to allow intel CI tests) and take 
patch above into account - maybe simple cherry-picking?

OK, again historical reason.

and "| __GFP_NOWARN".

Yep you are right.

So I will cherry-pick these patches into next version of patchset, with 
"NO MERGE" annotation (to allow testing), and if my ref_track patches 
will be accepted then they can go via net-dev tree and intel patches 
will wait till update of drm-tip.
Is this scenario OK?

Andrzej

One possibility would be to split your patch series in two, to merge
the ref_tracker changes directly in net-next asap.

But I have no strong opinion, maybe Jakub/David have some guidance.
