From 36fae17a648e0aee5d9560514d08477ef48dc87f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:14:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: switch to NOFS allocation under i_lock in xfs_buf_associate_memory xfs_buf_associate_memory is used for setting up the spare buffer for the log wrap case in xlog_sync which can happen under i_lock when called from xfs_fsync. The i_lock mutex is taken in reclaim context so all allocations under it must avoid recursions into the filesystem. There are a couple more uses of xfs_buf_associate_memory in the log recovery code that are also affected by this, but I'd rather keep the code simple than passing on a gfp_mask argument. Longer term we should just stop requiring the memoery allocation in xlog_sync by some smaller rework of the buffer layer. Reported by the new reclaim context tracing in lockdep.
