commit 3a169c0be75b59dd85d159493634870cdec6d3c4 upstream.
Commit 1d5c76e664333 ("xen-blkfront: switch kcalloc to kvcalloc for
large array allocation") didn't fix the issue it was meant to, as the
flags for allocating the memory are GFP_NOIO, which will lead the
memory allocation falling back to kmalloc().
So instead of GFP_NOIO use GFP_KERNEL and do all the memory allocation
in blkfront_setup_indirect() in a memalloc_noio_{save,restore} section.

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.
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.
