From 81378da64de6d33d0c200885f1de431c9a3e5ccd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 14:53:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: mark the transaction context with the scope GFP_NOFS context now that we have memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} api we can mark the whole transaction context as implicitly GFP_NOFS. All allocations will automatically inherit GFP_NOFS this way. This means that we do not have to mark any of those requests with GFP_NOFS and moreover all the ext4_kv[mz]alloc(GFP_NOFS) are also safe now because even the hardcoded GFP_KERNEL allocations deep inside the vmalloc will be NOFS now.
