Unfortunately, the author of the patch, York, is out this week, so I'll have to take care of this. It'd be easier to modify rh_alloc() so that it doesn't sleep, so that's what I'm going to do.
Anyway, why do you need the spin lock there (and not mutex)? As I think you are still trying to avoid the problem instead of fixing it. Removing GFP_WAIT (fsl_diu_alloc) doesn't seem to me as mm friendly solution, especially if you allocate that much memory and you can sleep. But I might be wrong, you may need the spinlock...
