Subject: [ 27/58] zram: Fix deadlock bug in partial read/write
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:19:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130225221641.976584648@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130225221636.018756060@linuxfoundation.org>

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

commit 7e5a5104c6af709a8d97d5f4711e7c917761d464 upstream.

Now zram allocates new page with GFP_KERNEL in zram I/O path
if IO is partial. Unfortunately, It may cause deadlock with
reclaim path like below.

write_page from fs
fs_lock
allocation(GFP_KERNEL)
reclaim
pageout
				write_page from fs
				fs_lock <-- deadlock

This patch fixes it by using GFP_NOIO.  In read path, we
reorganize code flow so that kmap_atomic is called after the
GFP_NOIO allocation.
