[PATCH 3.2 071/110] dm btree: silence lockdep lock inversion in dm_btree_del()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Aug 10 2015 - 06:27:52 EST


3.2.71-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1c7518794a3647eb345d59ee52844e8a40405198 upstream.

Allocate memory using GFP_NOIO when deleting a btree. dm_btree_del()
can be called via an ioctl and we don't want to recurse into the FS or
block layer.
