Johannes Weiner 30fb6a8d9e mm: zswap: fix writeback shinker GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS recursion
Kent forwards this bug report of zswap re-entering the block layer
from an IO request allocation and locking up:

The zswap shrinker resumes the swap_writepage()s that were intercepted
by the zswap store. This will enter the block layer, and may even
enter the filesystem depending on the swap backing file.

Make it respect GFP_NOIO and GFP_NOFS.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
