[merged] jbd2-mark-the-transaction-context-with-the-scope-gfp_nofs-context.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: jbd2: mark the transaction context with the scope GFP_NOFS context
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     jbd2-mark-the-transaction-context-with-the-scope-gfp_nofs-context.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
Subject: jbd2: mark the transaction context with the scope GFP_NOFS context

now that we have memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} api we can mark the whole
transaction context as implicitly GFP_NOFS.  All allocations will
automatically inherit GFP_NOFS this way.  This means that we do not have
to mark any of those requests with GFP_NOFS and moreover all the
ext4_kv[mz]alloc(GFP_NOFS) are also safe now because even the hardcoded
GFP_KERNEL allocations deep inside the vmalloc will be NOFS now.
