Yes, it was ext4 remounting RO because of the allocation failures AFAIR.
I am not sure those were addressed in the meantime. Ted?

I am definitely for the failure for GFP_NOFS allocations. It is weird to
loop inside the allocator without any way out because even OOM killer as
the last resort is not used. The primary force for the revert was that
the change came in very late in the release cycle. I guess we should go
with revert of cc87317726f8 for 4.1.
