Subject: [PATCH 03/19] xfs: I/O completion handlers must use NOFS allocations
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:42:01 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268347337-7160-4-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268347337-7160-1-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com>

When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to
recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the
I/O completion otherwise.  The only thing currently allocating normal
GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for
the unwritten extent conversion.  Add a memflags argument to
_xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.
