OK, I see...
I'll re-test with the following change:
--- a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c
+++ b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c
@@ -2867,7 +2867,7 @@ static void __lockdep_trace_alloc(gfp_t gfp_mask,
unsigned long flags)
return;
/* We're only interested __GFP_FS allocations for now */
- if (!(gfp_mask & __GFP_FS))
+ if ((curr->flags & PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO) || !(gfp_mask & __GFP_FS))
return;
Hmm. This is off-topic and most probably I missed something... but at
first glance we can simplify/improve the reclaim-fs lockdep annotations:
1. add the global "struct lockdep_map reclaim_fs_map"
2. change __lockdep_trace_alloc
- mark_held_locks(curr, RECLAIM_FS);
+ lock_map_acquire(&reclaim_fs_map);
+ lock_map_release(&reclaim_fs_map);
3. turn lockdep_set/clear_current_reclaim_state() into
void lockdep_set_current_reclaim_state(gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_FS)
lock_map_acquire(&reclaim_fs_map);
}
void lockdep_clear_current_reclaim_state(gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_FS)
lock_map_release(&reclaim_fs_map);
}
and now we can remove task_struct->lockdep_reclaim_gfp and all other
RECLAIM_FS hacks in lockdep.c. Plus we can easily extend this logic to
check more GFP_ flags.
No?
Oleg.
