    Subject[26/67] vfs: __read_cache_page should use gfp argument rather than GFP_KERNEL
    3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Dave Kleikamp <dave.kleikamp@oracle.com>

    commit e6f67b8c05f5e129e126f4409ddac6f25f58ffcb upstream.

    lockdep reports a deadlock in jfs because a special inode's rw semaphore
    is taken recursively. The mapping's gfp mask is GFP_NOFS, but is not
    used when __read_cache_page() calls add_to_page_cache_lru().
