Hello David, We have been doing some analysis on file systems and have a question regarding the GFP_KERNEL flag used in radix_tree_preload in xfs_mru_cache_insert. We think that this should be GFP_NOFS as it is related to the block allocation and other file systems(eg btrfs,ext2) are also using GFP_NOFS for the same. It would be great if you can let us know your reason for using that flag and which one is the correct option? Thanks, Sanidhya _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
