The patch titled
s390: qdio memory allocations
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
s390-qdio-memory-allocations.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Andreas Herrmann <aherrman@xxxxxxxxxx>
Avoid memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL in qdio_establish/qdio_shutdown. Use
memory pool instead. (Otherwise this can lead to an I/O stall where qdio
waits for a free page and zfcp waits for end of error recovery in low memory
situations.)
