Subject: Btrfs: avoid deadlocks from GFP_KERNEL allocations during btrfs_real_readdir
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fede766f28dd766d4e8feb321fdb19edb21ef6fb;p=linux-beck.git

Btrfs: avoid deadlocks from GFP_KERNEL allocations during btrfs_real_readdir

Btrfs has an optimization where it will preallocate dentries during
readdir to fill in enough information to open the inode without an extra
lookup.

But, we're calling d_alloc, which is doing GFP_KERNEL allocations, and
that leads to deadlocks because our readdir code has tree locks held.

For now, disable this optimization.  We'll fix the gfp mask in the next
merge window.
