Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}
Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 09:46:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170405074700.29871-3-vbabka@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170405074700.29871-1-vbabka@suse.cz>
The previous patch has shown that simply setting and clearing PF_MEMALLOC in
current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag
and potentially lead to recursive reclaim. Let's introduce helpers that support
proper nesting by saving the previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing
memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing
of PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers.
There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes it more
robust.
