Subject: [PATCH 02/34] xfs: use KM_NOFS for allocations during attribute list operations
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:28:58 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1292916570-25015-3-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1292916570-25015-1-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com>

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

When listing attributes, we are doiing memory allocations under the
inode ilock using only KM_SLEEP. This allows memory allocation to
recurse back into the filesystem and do writeback, which may the
ilock we already hold on the current inode. THis will deadlock.
Hence use KM_NOFS for such allocations outside of transaction
context to ensure that reclaim recursion does not occur.
