Hi,
I have posted the previous version here [1]. Since then I have added a
support to suppress reclaim lockdep warnings (__GFP_NOLOCKDEP) to allow
removing GFP_NOFS usage motivated by the lockdep false positives. On top
of that I've tried to convert few KM_NOFS usages to use the new flag in
the xfs code base. This would need a review from somebody familiar with
xfs of course.
Then I've added the new scope API to the jbd/ext transaction code +
reverted some explicit GFP_NOFS usages which are covered by the scope one
now. This also needs a deep review from ext developers. I have some more
patches which remove more explicit GFP_NOFS users but that is not really
ready yet. I would really appreciate if developers for other filesystems
joined me here as well. Maybe ext parts can help to show how to start.
Especially btrfs which uses GFP_NOFS a lot (and not with a good reason
in many cases I suspect).
The patchset is based on linux-next (next-20161214).
I think the GFP_NOIO should be seeing the same clean up but that is not
a part of this patchset.
Any feedback is highly appreciated of course.
