From 3050c9314faf95a63f000577a1d9feebb86b26d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Behlendorf Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 12:24:41 -0700 Subject: Switch KM_SLEEP to KM_PUSHPAGE Under certain circumstances the following functions may be called in a context where KM_SLEEP is unsafe and can result in a deadlocked system. To avoid this problem the unconditional KM_SLEEPs are converted to KM_PUSHPAGEs. This will prevent them from attempting to initiate any I/O during direct reclaim. This change was originally part of cd5ca4b but was reverted by 330fe01. It always should have had its own commit for exactly this reason.
