Dave Chinner 99b80ac45f mm/page-owner: use gfp_nested_mask() instead of open coded masking
The page-owner tracking code records stack traces during page allocation. 
To do this, it must do a memory allocation for the stack information from
inside an existing memory allocation context.  This internal allocation
must obey the high level caller allocation constraints to avoid generating
false positive warnings that have nothing to do with the code they are
instrumenting/tracking (e.g.  through lockdep reclaim state tracking)

We also don't want recording stack traces to deplete emergency memory
reserves - debug code is useless if it creates new issues that can't be
replicated when the debug code is disabled.

Switch the stack tracking allocation masking to use gfp_nested_mask() to
address these issues.  gfp_nested_mask() naturally strips GFP_ZONEMASK,
too, which greatly simplifies this code.

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.
