:
: zram/zcomp: use GFP_NOIO to allocate streams
:
: We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL from
: within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
: operations. That can introduce problems if the IO path in question is a
: reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.
:
: Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
: recursive IO and FS operations.
