zram/zcomp: use GFP_NOIO to allocate streams
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL from
within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
operations.  That can introduce problems if the IO path in question is a
reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.

Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
recursive IO and FS operations.

An example:

  inconsistent {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} -> {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} usage.
