Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc: convert unnecessary GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOFS
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 10:42:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181220154236.GC6063@fieldses.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181220153511.GB6063@fieldses.org>

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

It's OK to sleep here, we just don't want to recurse into the filesystem
as this writeout could be waiting on this.

Future work: the documentation for GFP_NOFS says "Please try to avoid
using this flag directly and instead use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} to
mark the whole scope which cannot/shouldn't recurse into the FS layer
with a short explanation why. All allocation requests will inherit
GFP_NOFS implicitly."

But I'm not sure where to do this.  Should the workqueue be arranging
that for us in the case of workqueues created with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM?

Also, I've still got this one.  (And still haven't looked into whether
it should be using a memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} elsewhere instead.)
