So it must not block waiting for memory. mempools are particularly a problem as memory can only be released back to the mempool by an async rpc task running. If all available workqueue threads are waiting on the mempool, no thread is available to return anything. rpc_malloc() can block, and this might cause deadlocks. So check RPC_IS_ASYNC(), rather than RPC_IS_SWAPPER() to determine if blocking is acceptable.
