scsi: core: Use GFP_NOIO to avoid circular locking dependency
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-86156
Upstream Status: From upstream linux mainline
Filesystems can write to disk from page reclaim with __GFP_FS
set. Marc found a case where scsi_realloc_sdev_budget_map() ends up in
page reclaim with GFP_KERNEL, where it could try to take filesystem
locks again, leading to a deadlock.
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.13.0 #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
kswapd0/70 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff8881025d5d78 (&q->q_usage_counter(io)){++++}-{0:0}, at: blk_mq_submit_bio+0x461/0x6e0
but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff81ef5f40 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x9f/0x760
The full lockdep splat can be found in Marc's report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/1/24/1101
Avoid the potential deadlock by doing the allocation with GFP_NOIO, which
prevents both filesystem and block layer recursion.
