Since moving to memalloc_nofs_save/restore, SUNRPC has stopped setting the
GFP_NOIO flag on sk_allocation which the networking system uses to decide
when it is safe to use current->task_frag. The results of this are
unexpected corruption in task_frag when SUNRPC is involved in memory
reclaim.
The corruption can be seen in crashes, but the root cause is often
difficult to ascertain as a crashing machine's stack trace will have no
evidence of being near NFS or SUNRPC code. I believe this problem to
be much more pervasive than reports to the community may indicate.
Fix this by having kernel users of sockets that may corrupt task_frag due
to reclaim set sk_use_task_frag = false. Preemptively correcting this
situation for users that still set sk_allocation allows them to convert to
memalloc_nofs_save/restore without the same unexpected corruptions that are
sure to follow, unlikely to show up in testing, and difficult to bisect.
