4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: David Disseldorp <[email protected]> commit 2224d879c7c0f85c14183ef82eb48bd875ceb599 upstream. As of 5a60e87603c4c533492c515b7f62578189b03c9c, RBD object request allocations are made via rbd_obj_request_create() with GFP_NOIO. However, subsequent OSD request allocations in rbd_osd_req_create*() use GFP_ATOMIC. With heavy page cache usage (e.g. OSDs running on same host as krbd client), rbd_osd_req_create() order-1 GFP_ATOMIC allocations have been observed to fail, where direct reclaim would have allowed GFP_NOIO allocations to succeed.
