commit 30fb6a8d9e3378919f378f9bf561142b4a6d2637 upstream.
Kent forwards this bug report of zswap re-entering the block layer from an IO request allocation and locking up:

The zswap shrinker resumes the swap_writepage()s that were intercepted by the zswap store. This will enter the block layer, and may even enter the filesystem depending on the swap backing file.
Make it respect GFP_NOIO and GFP_NOFS.
