From 9897713fe1077c90b4a86c9af0a878d56c8888a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 19:11:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bcachefs: do not use PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM Patch series "remove PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM" v3. This patch (of 2): bch2_new_inode relies on PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM to try to allocate a new inode to achieve GFP_NOWAIT semantic while holding locks. If this allocation fails it will drop locks and use GFP_NOFS allocation context. We would like to drop PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM because it is really dangerous to use if the caller doesn't control the full call chain with this flag set. E.g. if any of the function down the chain needed GFP_NOFAIL request the PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM would override this and cause unexpected failure. While this is not the case in this particular case using the scoped gfp semantic is not really needed bacause we can easily pus the allocation context down the chain without too much clutter.
