When to use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL?

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

 



Hello.

I want to know whether security_path_*() users need to use GFP_NOFS or not.
I couldn't understand what "Can call down to low-level FS?" (__GFP_FS) means.
When do we need to use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL?
For example, functions which are called by filesystems?
For example, after dentry->d_inode->i_mutex held?

Regards.
