Ok. I tried to more or less do the same thing as the upstream fix (eliminate the __netlink* call in favor of alloc_page()) in this specific instance. The alloc_page() call upstream, however, loses the gfp parameter. That is why I changed it here to alloc_pages(gfp, 0) to preserve that aspect of the current code. [VIPUL] I just double checked this, alloc_page() call upstream has a gfp parameter. It doesn't lose it.
