This function does an allocation of a buffer to return to the caller and then goes on to allocate some internal memory, eg the scatterlist and IOPTEs. Instead of hard wiring GFP_KERNEL and a wrong GFP_ATOMIC, continue to use the passed in gfp flags for all of the allocations. Clear the zone and policy bits that are only relevant for the buffer allocation before re-using them for internal allocations. Auditing says this is never called from an atomic context, so the GFP_ATOMIC is the incorrect flag.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
