[ Upstream commit 515dcdcd48736576c6f5c197814da6f81c60a21e ] The concern is that since nfsiod is sometimes required to kick off a commit, it can get locked up waiting forever in mempool_alloc() instead of failing gracefully and leaving the commit until later. Try to allocate from the slab first, with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY, then fall back to a non-blocking attempt to allocate from the memory pool.

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.
