Subject: [PATCH v2] xfs: remove kmem_zalloc_greedy
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 16:35:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170308003528.GK5280@birch.djwong.org> (raw)

The sole remaining caller of kmem_zalloc_greedy is bulkstat, which uses
it to grab 1-4 pages for staging of inobt records.  The infinite loop in
the greedy allocation function is causing hangs[1] in generic/269, so
just get rid of the greedy allocator in favor of kmem_zalloc_large.
This makes bulkstat somewhat more likely to ENOMEM if there's really no
pages to spare, but eliminates a source of hangs.
