Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sg: don't use GFP_ATOMIC in sg_start_req
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 08:08:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415060813.807659-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415060813.807659-1-hch@lst.de>
sg_start_req is called from normal user context and can sleep when
waiting for memory. Switch it to use GFP_KERNEL, which fixes allocation
failures seend with the bio_alloc rework.
Fixes: b520c4eef83d ("block: split bio_alloc_bioset more clearly into a fast and slowpath")
