[ Upstream commit ec165450968b26298bd1c373de37b0ab6d826b33 ]
Commit d46eb14b735b ("fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg") added remote memcg charging for fanotify and inotify event objects. The aim was to charge the memory to the listener who is interested in the events but without triggering the OOM killer. Otherwise there would be security concerns for the listener.
At the time, oom-kill trigger was not in the charging path. A parallel work added the oom-kill back to charging path i.e. commit 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path"). So to not trigger oom-killer in the remote memcg, explicitly add __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the fanotigy and inotify event allocations.
