From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f0940f4b3284a00f38a5d42e6067c2aaa20e1f2e ] We could recurse into NFS doing memory reclaim while sending a sync task, which might result in a deadlock. Set memalloc_nofs_save for sync task execution.
