[PATCH] Revert "mm/page_alloc: make should_fail_alloc_page() static"

From: Marco Elver
Date: Mon Jul 05 2021 - 06:38:37 EST


This reverts commit f7173090033c70886d925995e9dfdfb76dbb2441.

Commit 76cd61739fd1 ("mm/error_inject: Fix allow_error_inject function
signatures") explicitly made should_fail_alloc_page() non-static, due to
worries of remaining compiler optimizations in the absence of function
side-effects while being noinline.

Furthermore, kernel/bpf/verifier.c pushes should_fail_alloc_page onto
the btf_non_sleepable_error_inject BTF IDs set, which when enabling
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF results in an error at the BTFIDS stage:

FAILED unresolved symbol should_fail_alloc_page

To avoid the W=1 warning, add a function declaration right above the
function itself, with a comment it is required in a BTF IDs set.
