[PATCH] f2fs: should use GFP_NOFS for directory inodes

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 13:43:57 EST


We use inline_dentry which requires to allocate dentry page when adding a link.
If we allow to reclaim memory from filesystem, we do down_read(&sbi->cp_rwsem)
twice by f2fs_lock_op(). I think this should be okay, but how about stopping
the lockdep complaint [1]?

f2fs_create()
- f2fs_lock_op()
- f2fs_do_add_link()
- __f2fs_find_entry
- f2fs_get_read_data_page()
-> kswapd
- shrink_node
- f2fs_evict_inode
- f2fs_lock_op()
