[ Upstream commit 1749ef00f7312679f76d5e9104c5d1e22a829038 ]
We had a test-report where, under memory pressure, adding LUNs to the systems would fail (the tests add LUNs strictly in sequence):

Looking at the code of scsi_alloc_sdev(), and all the calling contexts, there seems to be no reason to use GFP_ATMOIC here. All the different call-contexts use a mutex at some point, and nothing in between that requires no sleeping, as far as I could see. Additionally, the code that later allocates the block queue for the device (scsi_mq_alloc_queue()) already uses GFP_KERNEL.
There are similar allocations in two other functions: scsi_probe_and_add_lun(), and scsi_add_lun(),; that can also be done with GFP_KERNEL.
Here is the contexts for the three functions so far:
scsi_alloc_sdev() scsi_probe_and_add_lun() scsi_sequential_lun_scan() __scsi_scan_target() scsi_scan_target() mutex_lock() scsi_scan_channel() scsi_scan_host_selected() mutex_lock() scsi_report_lun_scan() __scsi_scan_target() ... __scsi_add_device() mutex_lock() __scsi_scan_target() ... scsi_report_lun_scan() ... scsi_get_host_dev() mutex_lock()
scsi_probe_and_add_lun() ...
scsi_add_lun() scsi_probe_and_add_lun() ...
So replace all these, and give them a bit of a better chance to succeed, with more chances of reclaim.
