Hi,
this series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which
prevents recursive reclaim. There are some places that clear the flag
unconditionally from current->flags, which may result in clearing a
pre-existing flag. This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1 fixes
(without the new helpers, to make backporting easier). Patch 2 introduces the
new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_*
helpers, and converts mm core to use them. Patches 3 and 4 convert non-mm code.
Based on next-20170404.
Vlastimil Babka (4):
mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC
mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}
treewide: convert PF_MEMALLOC manipulations to new helpers
mtd: nand: nandsim: convert to memalloc_noreclaim_*()
