Subject: mm: use memalloc_nofs_save() in page_cache_ra_order()
From: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 30153e4466647a17eebfced13eede5cbe4290e69 upstream.
See commit f2c817bed58d ("mm: use memalloc_nofs_save in readahead path"),
ensure that page_cache_ra_order() do not attempt to reclaim file-backed
pages too, or it leads to a deadlock, found issue when test ext4 large
folio.
