From 8630650a8d9cfba379a5b73bd95e903d577e0d8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Behlendorf Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:17:23 -0700 Subject: Annotate KM_PUSHPAGE call paths with PF_NOFS The txg_sync(), zfs_putpage(), zvol_write(), and zvol_discard() call paths must only use KM_PUSHPAGE to avoid potential deadlocks during direct reclaim. This patch annotates these call paths so any accidental use of KM_SLEEP will be quickly detected. In the interest of stability if debugging is disabled the offending allocation will have its GFP flags automatically corrected. When debugging is enabled any misuse will be treated as a fatal error. This patch is entirely for debugging. We should be careful to NOT become dependant on it fixing up the incorrect allocations.
