From 573c24c4af6664ffcd9aa7ba617a35fde2b95534 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Teigland Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:34:43 -0600 Subject: dlm: always use GFP_NOFS Replace all GFP_KERNEL and ls_allocation with GFP_NOFS. ls_allocation would be GFP_KERNEL for userland lockspaces and GFP_NOFS for file system lockspaces. It was discovered that any lockspaces on the system can affect all others by triggering memory reclaim in the file system which could in turn call back into the dlm to acquire locks, deadlocking dlm threads that were shared by all lockspaces, like dlm_recv.
