If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Benjamin Coddington [ Upstream commit 99765233ab42bf7a4950377ad7894dce8a5c0e60 ] If the NFS client is doing writeback from a workqueue context, avoid using __GFP_NORETRY for allocations if the task has set PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO or PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS. The combination of these flags makes memory allocation failures much more likely. We've seen those allocation failures show up when the loopback driver is doing writeback from a workqueue to a file on NFS, where memory allocation failure results in errors or corruption within the loopback device's filesystem.
