Because bulk read is just an optimization, we don't have to do these and can stop page allocations. Though this siutation happens rarely, add __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from excessive memory reclaim and killing applications, and __GFP_WARN to suppress this failure message. For this, Use readahead_gfp_mask for gfp flags when allocating pages.
