[ 09/57] bcache: Fix a shrinker deadlock

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

 



3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a698e08c82dfb9771e0bac12c7337c706d729b6d upstream.

GFP_NOIO means we could be getting called recursively - mca_alloc() ->
mca_data_alloc() - definitely can't use mutex_lock(bucket_lock) then.
Whoops.
