Subject: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] f2fs: quota: use memalloc_nofs_{save, restore} instead of FGP_NOFS
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 17:59:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706095943.2560208-2-chao@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706095943.2560208-1-chao@kernel.org>
FGP_NOFS could be removed later, let's use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore}
instead, which is recommended to be used to avoid potential deadlock
when memory allocation in f2fs_quota_write() will call into filesystem
interface again, e.g. .writepages, evict_inode, shrinker due to
complicated lock race condition.
