[PATCH] squashfs: enable __GFP_FS in ->readpage to prevent hang in mem alloc
From: Hou Tao
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 21:05:56 EST
There is no need to disable __GFP_FS in ->readpage:
* It's a read-only fs, so there will be no dirty/writeback page and
there will be no deadlock against the caller's locked page
* It just allocates one page, so compaction will not be invoked
* It doesn't take any inode lock, so the reclamation of inode will be fine
And no __GFP_FS may lead to hang in __alloc_pages_slowpath() if a
squashfs page fault occurs in the context of a memory hogger, because
the hogger will not be killed due to the logic in __alloc_pages_may_oom().
