If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dave Kleikamp commit e6f67b8c05f5e129e126f4409ddac6f25f58ffcb upstream. lockdep reports a deadlock in jfs because a special inode's rw semaphore is taken recursively. The mapping's gfp mask is GFP_NOFS, but is not used when __read_cache_page() calls add_to_page_cache_lru().
