Johannes Weiner 9ea9cb00a8 mm: memcontrol: fix GFP_NOFS recursion in memory.high enforcement
Breno and Josef report a deadlock scenario from cgroup reclaim
re-entering the filesystem:

This is caused by the mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() not respecting the
gfp_mask of the allocation context.  We used to only call this function on
resume to userspace, where no locks were held.  But c9afe31ec4 ("memcg:
synchronously enforce memory.high for large overcharges") added a call
from the allocation context without considering the gfp.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
