Subject: NFS: kswapd must not block in nfs_release_page
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~13812^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b608b283a962caaa280756bc8563016a71712acf;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

NFS: kswapd must not block in nfs_release_page

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16056

If other processes are blocked waiting for kswapd to free up some memory so
that they can make progress, then we cannot allow kswapd to block on those
processes.
