From: Josef Bacik Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext3: fix wrong gfp type under transaction Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:59:17 -0400 Message-ID: <20080314175917.GF20444@unused.rdu.redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: adilger@sun.com, linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org To: akpm@linux-foundation.org Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([66.187.233.31]:39373 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1753418AbYCNSBq (ORCPT ); Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:01:46 -0400 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello, There are several places where we make allocations with GFP_KERNEL while under a transaction, which could lead to an assertion panic or lockup if under memory pressure. This patch switches these problem areas to use GFP_NOFS to keep these problems from happening.
