From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 10:00:04 +0000 (-0400) Subject: xfs: prevent recursion in xfs_buf_iorequest X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~7070^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40a9b7963df32e743c45d79a5f41445fe2476f15;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git xfs: prevent recursion in xfs_buf_iorequest If the b_iodone handler is run in calling context in xfs_buf_iorequest we can run into a recursion where xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks keeps calling back into xfs_buf_iorequest because an I/O error happened, which keeps calling back into xfs_buf_iorequest. This chain will usually not take long because the filesystem gets shut down because of log I/O errors, but even over a short time it can cause stack overflows if run on the same context. As a short term workaround make sure we always call the iodone handler in workqueue context.
