Re: [PATCH 1.2/2] mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>]

OK, so the lockdep splats I was seeing [1] were much easier to fix than
I originally thought. So the following should be folded into the
original patch. I will send the full patch later on.

Subject: [PATCH] fold me "mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API"

Lockdep infrastructure is hooked into early hot paths of the allocator
so __lockdep_trace_alloc has to check for PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS directly and
do not rely on current_gfp_context
