Hi,
this has been posted previously as a part of larger GFP_NOFS related
patch set (http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1438768284-30927-1-git-send-email-mhocko%40kernel.org)
but I think it makes sense to discuss it even out of that scope.

I would like to hear FS and other MM people about the proposed interface.
Using mapping_gfp_mask blindly doesn't sound good to me and vm_fault
looks like a proper channel to communicate between MM and FS layers.

Comments? Are there any better ideas?

Makes sense to me and the filesystems I know should be fine with this
(famous last words ;). Feel free to add:

Thanks a lot! Are there any objections from other fs/mm people?

Please replace "GFP_IOFS" in the subject, as the "flag" has been removed recently. Otherwise
