Re: [PATCH] ext3: ext3_symlink should use GFP_NOFS allocations inside

From: Kirill Korotaev

+ page = find_or_create_page(mapping, 0,
+ mapping_gfp_mask(mapping) | gfp_mask);


+int page_symlink(struct inode *inode, const char *symname, int len)
+{
+ return __page_symlink(inode, symname, len, GFP_KERNEL);


s/GFP_KERNEL/0/; if somebody has e.g. GFP_NOFS in their mapping flags,
you end up breaking their code. We really pass extra flags to be added
to default ones; page_symlink() should pass 0.
thanks for noticing this.
fixed and resend.

Thanks,
Kirill
