Subject: Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] f2fs: call __add_ino_entry out of the eviction path
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 01:28:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <anKRwA6t34sqgght@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804002027.2196300-1-jaegeuk@kernel.org>
The f2fs_evict_inode() can be called during the direct reclaim path, but
__add_ino_entry requires allocating some memory. Since we don't need to
do that in that context, let's migrate it in other workqueue context.
