[merged] xfs-use-memalloc_nofs_saverestore-instead-of-memalloc_noio.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: xfs: use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} instead of memalloc_noio*
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     xfs-use-memalloc_nofs_saverestore-instead-of-memalloc_noio.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: xfs: use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} instead of memalloc_noio*

kmem_zalloc_large and _xfs_buf_map_pages use memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
API to prevent from reclaim recursion into the fs because vmalloc can
invoke unconditional GFP_KERNEL allocations and these functions might be
called from the NOFS contexts.  The memalloc_noio_save will enforce
GFP_NOIO context which is even weaker than GFP_NOFS and that seems to be
unnecessary.  Let's use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} instead as it should
provide exactly what we need here - implicit GFP_NOFS context.
