Subject: [PATCH] scsi: target: tcmu: Use GFP_NOIO while handling cmds or holding cmdr_lock
Date: Fri,  5 Mar 2021 20:00:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210305190009.32242-1-bostroesser@gmail.com> (raw)

Especially when using tcmu with tcm_loop, memory allocations with
GFP_KERNEL for a LUN can cause write back to the same LUN.

So we have to use GFP_NOIO when allocation is done while handling
commands or while holding cmdr_lock.

This patch is based on Martin's for-next branch plus my short
series "scsi: target: tcmu: Replace IDR and radix_tree with XArray"
