From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit f9865f06f7f18c6661c88d0511f05c48612319cc upstream. Commit f363e45fd118 ("net/ceph: make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrant") effectively removed WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag from ceph_msgr_wq. This is wrong - libceph is very much a memory reclaim path, so restore it.
