[PATCH 4.14 112/165] scsi: mpt3sas: Do not mark fw_event workqueue as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM

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

 



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

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

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 864449eea7c600596e305ffdc4a6a846414b222c ]

The firmware event workqueue should not be marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
as it's doesn't need to make forward progress under memory pressure.
In the current state it will result in a deadlock if the device had been
forcefully removed.
