[patch 18/94] fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Jan 15 2009 - 15:11:23 EST
2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
commit 54566b2c1594c2326a645a3551f9d989f7ba3c5e upstream.
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

[ Cleaned up the calling convention: just pass in the AOP flags
untouched to the grab_cache_page_write_begin() function. That
just simplifies everybody, and may even allow future expansion of the
logic. - Linus ]
