From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit bcf090e0040e30f8409e6a535a01e6473afb096f upstream. this was very wrong - mempool_alloc() only guarantees success with GFP_WAIT. bcache uses GFP_NOWAIT in various other places where we have a fallback, circuits must've gotten crossed when writing this code or something.
