Subject: [PATCH v2] lockdep: Fix fs_reclaim warning.
Dave Jones reported fs_reclaim lockdep warnings.
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
4.15.0-rc9-backup-debug+ #1 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
sshd/24800 is trying to acquire lock:
(fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: [<0000000084f438c2>] fs_reclaim_acquire.part.102+0x5/0x30
but task is already holding lock:
(fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: [<0000000084f438c2>] fs_reclaim_acquire.part.102+0x5/0x30
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

----
lock(fs_reclaim);
lock(fs_reclaim);

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

This warning is caused by commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13 ("locking/lockdep: Rework
FS_RECLAIM annotation") which replaced lockdep_set_current_reclaim_state()/
lockdep_clear_current_reclaim_state() in __perform_reclaim() and
lockdep_trace_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() with fs_reclaim_acquire()/
fs_reclaim_release(). Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply
propagates __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook()
is trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already
grabbed the 'fake' lock.
The
/* this guy won't enter reclaim */
if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
return false;
test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock
was added by commit cf40bd16fdad42c0 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread won't
enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit 341ce06f69abfafa
("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once")
added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (
/* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
goto nopage;
in __alloc_pages_slowpath()).
Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and allow
__need_fs_reclaim() to return false.
