From 80641dc66a2d6dfb22af4413227a92b8ab84c7bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:00:03 +0000 Subject: xfs: I/O completion handlers must use NOFS allocations When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the I/O completion otherwise. The only thing currently allocating normal GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for the unwritten extent conversion. Add a memflags argument to _xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.
