From: Ilya Dryomov <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit 5a60e87603c4c533492c515b7f62578189b03c9c upstream. rbd_obj_request_create() is called on the main I/O path, so we need to use GFP_NOIO to make sure allocation doesn't blow back on us. Not all callers need this, but I'm still hardcoding the flag inside rather than making it a parameter because a) this is going to stable, and b) those callers shouldn't really use rbd_obj_request_create() and will be fixed in the future. More memory allocation fixes will follow.
