[PATCH 3.4 004/107] ext4: avoid deadlocks in the writeback path by using sb_getblk_gfp

[lizf]

From: Nikolay Borisov <kernel@xxxxxxxx>

3.4.111-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit c45653c341f5c8a0ce19c8f0ad4678640849cb86 upstream.

Switch ext4 to using sb_getblk_gfp with GFP_NOFS added to fix possible
deadlocks in the page writeback path.
