Subject: Btrfs: use nofs context when initializing security xattrs to avoid deadlock
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=827aa18e7b903c5ff3b3cd8fec328a99b1dbd411;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

Btrfs: use nofs context when initializing security xattrs to avoid deadlock

When initializing the security xattrs, we are holding a transaction handle
therefore we need to use a GFP_NOFS context in order to avoid a deadlock
with reclaim in case it's triggered.

Fixes: 39a27ec1004e8 ("btrfs: use GFP_KERNEL for xattr and acl allocations")
