[PATCH 4.4 114/117] zram/zcomp: use GFP_NOIO to allocate streams

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3d5fe03a3ea013060ebba2a811aeb0f23f56aefa upstream.

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.

An example:

  inconsistent {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} -> {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} usage.
  git/20158 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
   (jbd2_handle){+.+.?.}, at:  start_this_handle+0x4ca/0x555
