Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 127/185] rbd: use GFP_NOIO in rbd_obj_request_create()
Date
3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>

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.
