Subject: [PATCH 0/8 v3] scope GFP_NOFS api

Hi,
I have posted the previous version here [1]. Since then I've added some
reviewed bys and fixed some minor issues. I've dropped patch 2 [2] based
on Dave's request [3]. I agree that this can be done later and doing
all at once. I still think that __GFP_NOLOCKDEP should be added by this
series to make the further development easier.

There didn't seem to be any real objections and so I think we should go
and merge this and build further on top. I would like to get rid of all
explicit GFP_NOFS usage in ext4 code. I have something half baked already
and will send it later on. I also hope we can get further with the xfs
as well.

I haven't heard anything from btrfs or other filesystems guys which is a
bit unfortunate but I do not want to wait for them to much longer, they
can join the effort later on.

The patchset is based on next-20170106
