[PATCH] disallow FS recursion from sb_issue_discard allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Filesystems can call sb_issue_discard on a memory reclaim path
(e.g. ext4 calls sb_issue_discard during journal commit).

Use GFP_NOFS in sb_issue_discard to avoid recursing back into the FS.
