From 81b540c37aec7a79be2dfae19ca279321a2454d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2012 10:54:29 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] nfs: prevent page allocator recursions with swap over NFS. GFP_NOFS is _more_ permissive than GFP_NOIO in that it will initiate IO, just not of any filesystem data. The problem is that previously NOFS was correct because that avoids recursion into the NFS code. With swap-over-NFS, it is no longer correct as swap IO can lead to this recursion.
