4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chao Yu <yuchao0@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 81114baa835b59ed02d14aa1d67f91ea874077cd upstream. Related to https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/8/661 Sometimes, we need to write meta data to new allocated block address, then we will allocate a zeroed page in inner inode's address space, and fill partial data in it, and leave other place with zero value which means some fields are initial status. There are two inner inodes (meta inode and node inode) setting __GFP_ZERO, I have just checked them, for both of them, we can avoid using __GFP_ZERO, and do initialization by ourselves to avoid unneeded/redundant zeroing from mm.
