From 7f5d77570b0cbdedb442aca1f636ed771e8210cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Coly Li Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2020 22:17:21 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] raid5: remove gfp flags from scribble_alloc() [ Upstream commit ba54d4d4d2844c234f1b4692bd8c9e0f833c8a54 ] Using GFP_NOIO flag to call scribble_alloc() from resize_chunk() does not have the expected behavior. kvmalloc_array() inside scribble_alloc() which receives the GFP_NOIO flag will eventually call kmalloc_node() to allocate physically continuous pages. Now we have memalloc scope APIs in mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to prevent memory reclaim I/Os during raid array suspend context, calling to kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag may avoid deadlock of recursive I/O as expected. This patch removes the useless gfp flags from parameters list of scribble_alloc(), and call kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag. The incorrect GFP_NOIO flag does not exist anymore.
