Since moving to memalloc_nofs_save/restore, SUNRPC has stopped setting the

Um, what's task_frag?
Its a per-task page_frag used to coalesce small writes for networking -- see:

I am not seeing this in the mainline. Where can find this commit?
Okay. I see this commit in the mainline. However, I don't see the
sk_use_task_frag in mainline.
sk_use_task_frag is in patch 1/3 in this posting.

Aha. I don't have 1/3 in my Inbox - I think it would make
sense to cc people on the first patch so we can understand
the premise for the change.
thanks,
