commit 5fe48867856367142d91a82f2cbf7a57a24cbb70 upstream. There are some meta data of bcache are allocated by multiple pages, and they are used as bio bv_page for I/Os to the cache device. for example cache_set->uuids, cache->disk_buckets, journal_write->data, bset_tree->data. For such meta data memory, all the allocated pages should be treated as a single memory block. Then the memory management and underlying I/O code can treat them more clearly. This patch adds __GFP_COMP flag to all the location allocating >0 order pages for the above mentioned meta data. Then their pages are treated as compound pages now.

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 Restructured Text 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.
