[PATCH 7.1 121/438] netfs: Fix folio_queue ENOMEM in writeback by adding a mempool

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 1d78d56c43ef3768183e8370e7367b162700e049 ]

Fix the handling of folio_queue allocation failure in writeback by adding a
mempool and passing in gfp_t flags to the rolling buffer functions that
allocate memory, using the mempool if gfp != GFP_KERNEL.

This is then extended upwards and the gfp to be used for a request is stored
in the netfs_io_request struct and is then used for both requests and
subrequests, eliminating the sleeping loops there.

The failure caused:

    folio != NULL
    WARNING: fs/netfs/write_issue.c:603 at netfs_writepages+0x883/0xa10 fs/netfs/write_issue.c:603, CPU#3: syz.0.17/5919

Fixes: cd0277ed0c18 ("netfs: Use new folio_queue data type and iterator instead of xarray iter")
