[PATCH 1/7] lockdep: teach lockdep about memalloc_noio_save

From: Michal Hocko
Date: Mon Mar 06 2017 - 08:46:00 EST


From: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@xxxxxxxx>

Commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") added the memalloc_noio_(save|restore) functions
to enable people to modify the MM behavior by disabling I/O during memory
allocation. This was further extended in Fixes: 934f3072c17c ("mm: clear
__GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set"). memalloc_noio_* functions prevent
allocation paths recursing back into the filesystem without explicitly
changing the flags for every allocation site. However, lockdep hasn't been
keeping up with the changes and it entirely misses handling the memalloc_noio
adjustments. Instead, it is left to the callers of __lockdep_trace_alloc to
call the function after they have shaven the respective GFP flags which
can lead to false positives:

Let's fix this by making lockdep explicitly do the shaving of respective
GFP flags.
