Subject: [PATCH 1/2] f2fs: quota: do not use GFP_NOFS in f2fs_quota_read()
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 17:59:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706095943.2560208-1-chao@kernel.org> (raw)
Commit 02117b8ae9c0 ("f2fs: Set GF_NOFS in read_cache_page_gfp while doing
f2fs_quota_read") adds GFP_NOFS in f2fs_quota_read() to avoid below deadlock:
- do_sys_open
- vfs_open
- dquot_file_open
- dquot_initialize
- dqget
- dquot_acquire
: locks &dqopt->dqio_mutex (VFS Quota Mutex)
- qtree_read_dquot
- f2fs_quota_read
- read_mapping_page (GFP_KERNEL / allows GFP_FS)
- __alloc_pages_nodemask
- try_to_free_pages (Direct Reclaim)
- prune_icache_sb
- evict
- f2fs_evict_inode
- dquot_drop
- dqput
- dquot_commit
: tries to lock &dqopt->dqio_mutex again
==> DEADLOCK (waiting for itself)
As Jan Kara mentioned, quota system has fixed this issue w/ commit
537e11cdc7a6 ("quota: Prevent memory allocation recursion while holding
dq_lock"), so this GFP_NOFS flag should be relic, let's drop it.
