Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xfs: add a separate bio_set for spliting GC writes
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 10:06:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728080650.1777545-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728080650.1777545-1-hch@lst.de>

Allocating the new bio for a split from the same pool as the original
one can deadlock under memory pressure.  Add a separate pool for
splitting GC write bios to avoid this.

Fixes: 080d01c41d44 ("xfs: implement zoned garbage collection")
