With the ACPI NFIT 'DSM' methods, acpi can be called from IO paths.
Specifically, the DSM to clear media errors is called during writes, so
that we can provide a writes-fix-errors model.
However it is easy to imagine a scenario like:
-> write through the nvdimm driver
-> acpi allocation
-> writeback, causes more IO through the nvdimm driver
-> deadlock
Fix this by using memalloc_noio_{save,restore}, which sets the GFP_NOIO
flag for the current scope when issuing commands/IOs that are expected
to clear errors.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
