From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> When listing attributes, we are doiing memory allocations under the inode ilock using only KM_SLEEP. This allows memory allocation to recurse back into the filesystem and do writeback, which may the ilock we already hold on the current inode. THis will deadlock. Hence use KM_NOFS for such allocations outside of transaction context to ensure that reclaim recursion does not occur.
