3.13.11-ckt24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5a60e87603c4c533492c515b7f62578189b03c9c upstream.
rbd_obj_request_create() is called on the main I/O path, so we need to
use GFP_NOIO to make sure allocation doesn't blow back on us. Not all
callers need this, but I'm still hardcoding the flag inside rather than
making it a parameter because a) this is going to stable, and b) those
callers shouldn't really use rbd_obj_request_create() and will be fixed
in the future.
More memory allocation fixes will follow.
