Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add and use bdev_getblk()

This patch series fixes a bug reported by Hui Zhu; see proposed
patches v1 and v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20230811035705.3296-1-teawaterz@linux.alibaba.com/

I decided to go in a rather different direction for this fix, and
fix a related problem at the same time.  I don't think there's any
urgency to rush this into Linus' tree, nor have I marked it for stable.
Reasonable people may disagree.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (3):
  buffer: Pass GFP flags to folio_alloc_buffers()
  buffer: Hoist GFP flags from grow_dev_page() to __getblk_gfp()
  ext4: Use bdev_getblk() to avoid memory reclaim in readahead path
