Subject: WARNING: __GFP_FS allocations with IRQs disabled
 (kmemcheck_alloc_shadow)

Hi Vegard,

This warning code is triggered for the attached config:

__lockdep_trace_alloc():
        /*
         * Oi! Can't be having __GFP_FS allocations with IRQs disabled.
         */
        if (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(irqs_disabled_flags(flags)))
                return;

Where the irq is possibly disabled at the beginning of __slab_alloc():

        local_irq_save(flags);

Thanks,
Fengguang
