Your commit changelog is misleading .
The GFP_NOFAIL issue has been fixed already in
commit c12837d1bb31032bead9060dec99ef310d5b9fb7 ("ref_tracker: use
__GFP_NOFAIL more carefully")

This belongs to patch 3 in your series.

Simply change this line to : gfp_t gfp_mask = gfp | __GFP_NOFAIL;

Then leave all this code as is ? I find current code more readable.
