Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}
The previous patch has shown that simply setting and clearing PF_MEMALLOC in
current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag
and potentially lead to recursive reclaim. Let's introduce helpers that support
proper nesting by saving the previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing
memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing
of PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers.
There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes it more
robust.
