Subject: ext2, possible circular locking dependency detected
Hello ext2 maintainers,
During my local fs stress test, I've encounter this.
Is it false positive?
Otherwise, I've made a small patch to stop reclaming recursively into FS
from ext2_xattr_set(). Please consider taking this.
Once I've considered about whether it should be done in VFS layer or
not. I mean, every i_op->brabra() calls in VFS should be surrounded by
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore}(), by a macro or something. But I am
afraid it may introduce unnecesary overheads, especially when FS code
doesn't allocate memory. So it is better to do it in real FS
operations.
