[PATCH 0/9] Remove FGP_NOFS

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

There is broad agreement that we should eliminate __GFP_FS in favour of
using memalloc_nofs_save().  This is a small step in that direction by
getting rid of FGP_NOFS.  It's also a nice simplification in its own right.

I added the documentation improvement at the start of this series, not
because anything depends on that (obviously it doesn't), but because
I thought the existing documentation was rather MM centric and it needs
to be FS centric.  Hopefully the cc'd filesystem maintainers will have
the chance to look at patch 1 and see if it makes sense to them.

There's a few different solutions here:

 - Filesystems specifying both FGP_NOWAIT and FGP_NOFS.  If you're not
   waiting, it doesn't matter if you're allowed to reclaim from FS
   context or not, you're just not doing reclaim.
 - We're already under memalloc_nofs.
 - We can prove that the MM should be allowed to reclaim from
   filesystem memory (and so specifying FGP_NOFS was wrong).
 - We can add a call to memalloc_nofs_save().
