* dm-bufio is resistant to allocation failures (it just keeps
* one buffer reserved in cases all the allocations fail).
* So set flags to not try too hard:
- * GFP_NOIO: don't recurse into the I/O layer
+ * GFP_NOWAIT: don't wait; if we need to sleep we'll release our
+ * mutex and wait ourselves.
* __GFP_NORETRY: don't retry and rather return failure
* __GFP_NOMEMALLOC: don't use emergency reserves
* __GFP_NOWARN: don't print a warning in case of failure
