From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 01:28:32 +0000 (+1000) Subject: NFS/SUNRPC: Remove other deadlock-avoidance mechanisms in nfs_release_page() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1aff52562939485e503936e17934be077ffaea53;p=linux-beck.git NFS/SUNRPC: Remove other deadlock-avoidance mechanisms in nfs_release_page() Now that nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely, other deadlock avoidance mechanisms aren't needed. - it doesn't hurt for kswapd to block occasionally. If it doesn't want to block it would clear __GFP_WAIT. The current_is_kswapd() was only added to avoid deadlocks and we have a new approach for that. - memory allocation in the SUNRPC layer can very rarely try to ->releasepage() a page it is trying to handle. The deadlock is removed as nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely. So we don't need to set PF_FSTRANS for sunrpc network operations any more.
