From c09c59e6a070d6af05f238f255aea268185273ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mimi Zohar Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:16:06 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ima: replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS While running fsstress tests on the NFSv4 mounted ext3 and ext4 filesystem, the following call trace was generated on the nfs server machine. Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS in ima_iint_insert() to avoid a potential deadlock. ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.31-31.el6.x86_64 #1 --------------------------------- inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. kswapd2/75 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (jbd2_handle){+.+.?.}, at: [] jbd2_journal_start+0xfe/0x13f {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} state was registered at: [] mark_held_locks+0x65/0x99 [] lockdep_trace_alloc+0xbd/0xf5 [] kmem_cache_alloc+0x40/0x185 [] ima_iint_insert+0x3d/0xf1 [] ima_inode_alloc+0x25/0x44 [] inode_init_always+0xec/0x271 [] alloc_inode+0x51/0xa1 [] new_inode+0x2e/0x94 [] ext4_new_inode+0xb8/0xdc9 [] ext4_create+0xcf/0x175 [] vfs_create+0x82/0xb8 [] do_filp_open+0x32c/0x9ee [] do_sys_open+0x6c/0x12c [] sys_open+0x2e/0x44 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [] 0xffffffffffffffff irq event stamp: 90371 hardirqs last enabled at (90371): [] kmem_cache_alloc+0xf0/0x185 hardirqs last disabled at (90370): [] kmem_cache_alloc+0x89/0x185 softirqs last enabled at (89492): [] __do_softirq+0x1bf/0x1eb softirqs last disabled at (89477): [] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by kswapd2/75: #0: (shrinker_rwsem){++++..}, at: [] shrink_slab+0x44/0x177 #1: (&type->s_umount_key#25){++++..}, at: [] Reported-by: Muni P.
