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"
