[PATCH] mm: check memory reclaim bugs caused fs reentrance

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

 



If filesystem holds transaction open 'current->journal_info' it should not
performs memory allocations with __GFP_FS flag enabled otherwise this result in fs
reentarance which lead to:
1) reentrance to itself : deadlock or internal assertion failure due to incorrect journal credits
1) entrance to another fs: assertion faulure or silient corruption due to incorrect journal
