From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.w...@gmail.com>
We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL
from within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
operations. That can introduce problems if the IO path in question
is a reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.
Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
recursive IO and FS operations.
An example:
