There is only one called of alloc_page_buffers and it doesn't require
__GFP_NOFAIL so drop this allocation mode.

Thanks for the cleanup!

I guess we will take this via the fs tree. So

Looks good. Feel free to add:

Although even better fix would be to convert the last remaining caller of
alloc_page_buffers() to folio_alloc_buffers()... But that may be more
difficult.

Already done by Pankajs large-block patchset, currently staged in vfs.git.

Which branch should I be looking at?

Hi Michal, Hannes should be referring to:

OK, but that branch seems to still have alloc_page_buffers user.
Maybe I am just misunderstanding what am I supposed to do here.
Anyway, I won't have much time to spend refactoring this so if there are
more changes required then I will likely not get to that. Sorry.

Applied to the vfs.misc branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.misc branch should appear in linux-next soon.

Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.

It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.

Note that commit hashes shown below are subject to change due to rebase,
trailer updates or similar. If in doubt, please check the listed branch.
