From 4ba1c5bfd2e5a6c9528eb7777b66c297e70f61ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sunil Mushran Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:03:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: Use GFP_NOFS in kmalloc during localalloc window move kmalloc() during a localalloc window move can trigger the mm to prune the dcache which inturn can trigger the fs to delete an inode causing it start a recursive transaction. The fix also makes the change in kmalloc during localalloc shutdown just to be safe.
