Subject: mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages_nodemask(): don't alter arg gfp_mask
__alloc_pages_nodemask() strips __GFP_IO when retrying the page
allocation. But it does this by altering the function-wide variable
gfp_mask. This will cause subsequent allocation attempts to inadvertently
use the modified gfp_mask.

After allocating page, trace_mm_page_alloc(page, order, gfp_mask, migratetype)
is called. But mask is not passed to it. So trace_mm_page_alloc traces wrong
gfp_mask.
Well it was already wrong because the first allocation attempt uses
gfp_mask|__GFP_HARDWAL, but we only trace gfp_mask.
This?
Looks good to me.
