From c626d174cfe38e7f0545d074c299527892cd8c45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 18:42:11 +0200 Subject: xfs: prevent unwritten extent conversion from blocking I/O completion Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a deadlock situation. Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or overwrite data.
