Use kmem_cache_alloc() directly. All kmem_zone_alloc() users pass 0 as flags, which are translated into: GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOWARN, and kmem_zone_alloc() loops forever until the allocation succeeds. We can use __GFP_NOFAIL to tell the allocator to loop forever rather than doing it ourself, and because the allocation will never fail, we do not need to use __GFP_NOWARN anymore. Hence, all callers can be converted to use GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL Signed-off-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changelog: V2: - Wire up xfs_inode_alloc to use __GFP_NOFAIL if it's called inside a transaction - Rewrite changelog in a more decent way. V3: - Use __GFP_NOFAIL unconditionally in xfs_inode_alloc(), use of PF_FSTRANS will be added when the patch re-adding it is moved to mainline. fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c | 3 ++- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c | 3 ++- fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c | 10 ++-------- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c index 203e74fa64aa6..583242253c027 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c @@ -2467,7 +2467,8 @@ xfs_defer_agfl_block( ASSERT(xfs_bmap_free_item_zone != NULL); ASSERT(oinfo != NULL); - new = kmem_zone_alloc(xfs_bmap_free_item_zone, 0); + new = kmem_cache_alloc(xfs_bmap_free_item_zone, + GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL); new->xefi_startblock = XFS_AGB_TO_FSB(mp, agno, agbno); new->xefi_blockcount = 1; new->xefi_oinfo = *oinfo; diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c index 667cdd0dfdf4a..fd5c0d669d0d7 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c @@ -553,7 +553,8 @@ __xfs_bmap_add_free( #endif ASSERT(xfs_bmap_free_item_zone != NULL); - new = kmem_zone_alloc(xfs_bmap_free_item_zone, 0); + new = kmem_cache_alloc(xfs_bmap_free_item_zone, + GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL); new->xefi_startblock = bno; new->xefi_blockcount = (xfs_extlen_t)len; if (oinfo) diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c index 58a750ce689c0..c2d97e4f131fb 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c @@ -36,14 +36,8 @@ xfs_inode_alloc( { struct xfs_inode *ip; - /* - * if this didn't occur in transactions, we could use - * KM_MAYFAIL and return NULL here on ENOMEM.
