Subject[PATCH v3] btrfs: volumes: Increase bioc pointer check
Date
The __GFP_NOFAIL flag will cause memory to be allocated an infinite
number of times until the allocation is successful, but it is best to
use it only for very necessary code, and try not to use it.

The alloc_btrfs_io_context function looks a little closer to normal
(excuse my analysis), but I think we can remove __GFP_NOFAIL from it and
add a bioc pointer allocation check that returns NULL if the allocation
fails.

v2: Add annotation vocabulary modify, remove __GFP_NOFAIL flag.
v3: Modifying the Description.
