From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> bio_crypt_set_ctx() assumes its gfp_mask argument always includes __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, so that the mempool_alloc() will always succeed. For now this assumption is still fine, since no callers violate it. Making bio_crypt_set_ctx() able to fail would add unneeded complexity. However, if a caller didn't use __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, it would be very hard to notice the bug. Make it easier by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE().
