We could revert that commit or we could change the all the remaining
GFP_NOIOs in drivers/md/dm.c to "bio_opf & REQ_NOWAIT ? GFP_NOWAIT :
GFP_NOIO". I'm not sure which one of these possibilities is better.
Converting GFP_NOIOs would complicate dm.c a bit, but it would make sure
that requests with REQ_NOWAIT don't really sleep. What do you think?
