From: Paul Jackson <[email protected]>
fallback_alloc() could end up calling cpuset_zone_allowed()
with interrupts disabled (by code in kmem_cache_alloc_node()),
but without __GFP_HARDWALL set, leading to a possible
call of a sleeping function with interrupts disabled.
This results in the BUG report:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/cpuset.c:1520
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1
Thanks to Paul Menage for catching this one.
