fscrypt_get_encryption_info() has never actually been safe to call in a context that needs GFP_NOFS, since it calls crypto_alloc_skcipher(). crypto_alloc_skcipher() isn't GFP_NOFS-safe, even if called under memalloc_nofs_save(). This is because it may load kernel modules, and also because it internally takes crypto_alg_sem. Other tasks can do GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding crypto_alg_sem for write. The use of fscrypt_init_mutex isn't GFP_NOFS-safe either. So, stop pretending that fscrypt_get_encryption_info() is nofs-safe. I.e., when it allocates memory, just use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_NOFS. Note, another reason to do this is that GFP_NOFS is deprecated in favor of using memalloc_nofs_save() in the proper places.

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.
