Looks like there's another instance where percpu allocates with GFP_KERNEL: create_space_info that can be called from the path that allocates chunks, so this also looks like a NOFS candidate. And in the same function, there's another indirect and hidden GFP_KERNEL allocation from kobject_init_and_add. So in this case we can't fix all the gfp problems at the call site and will have to use the scoped approach eventually. I haven't found any instance of such lockdep reports in my logs (over a long period), so it's quite unlikely to end up in the recursive allocation. Patch added to next, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
