I was trying to reproduce the false positives you mentioned in other
email by reverting b17cb364dbbb ("xfs: fix missing KM_NOFS tags to keep
lockdep happy"). I could really hit the one below but then it turned out
that it is this hunk above which causes the lockdep warning. Now I am
trying to understand how is this possible as ~__GFP_FS happens at the
page allocation level so we should never leak the __GFP_FS context when
the PF flag is set.
One possible explanation would be that some code path hands over to
a kworker which then loses the PF flag but it would get a gfp_mask which
would have the FS flag cleared with the original code.
xfs_btree_split_worker is using PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS directly so it should
be OK and xfs_reclaim_worker resp. xfs_eofblocks_worker use struct
xfs_mount as a context which doesn't contain gfp_mask. The stack trace
also doesn't indicate any kworker involvement. Do you have an idea what
else might get wrong or what am I missing?
