Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Fix fs_reclaim warning.

Dave Jones reported fs_reclaim lockdep warnings.

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
4.15.0-rc9-backup-debug+ #1 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
sshd/24800 is trying to acquire lock:
(fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: [<0000000084f438c2>] fs_reclaim_acquire.part.102+0x5/0x30

but task is already holding lock:
(fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: [<0000000084f438c2>] fs_reclaim_acquire.part.102+0x5/0x30

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0
----
lock(fs_reclaim);
lock(fs_reclaim);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by sshd/24800:

Since no fs locks are held, doing GFP_KERNEL allocation should be safe
as long as there is PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (

/* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
goto nopage;

) which prevents infinite recursion.

This warning seems to be caused by commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13
("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") which moved the
location of

/* this guy won't enter reclaim */
if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
return false;

check added by commit cf40bd16fdad42c0 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, __need_fs_reclaim() is
failing to return false despite PF_MEMALLOC context (and resulted in
lockdep warning).

Since there was no PF_MEMALLOC safeguard as of cf40bd16fdad42c0, checking
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC might make sense. But since this safeguard was added by
commit 341ce06f69abfafa ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for
allocation only once"), checking __GFP_NOMEMALLOC no longer makes sense.
Thus, let's remove __GFP_NOMEMALLOC check and allow __need_fs_reclaim() to
return false.
