[PATCH 1/2] ext4: cleanup GFP flags inside resize path

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

 



We must use GFP_NOFS instead GFP_KERNEL inside ext4_mb_add_groupinfo because resizing call
 it inside journal transaction. Call trace:
ioctl
 ->ext4_group_add
   ->journal_start
   ->ext4_setup_new_descs
     ->ext4_mb_add_groupinfo
