Message-Id: <20131003040637.242274700@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 21:08:35 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Kent Overstreet <kmo@...erainc.com>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Subject: [ 09/57] bcache: Fix a shrinker deadlock 3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@...erainc.com> commit a698e08c82dfb9771e0bac12c7337c706d729b6d upstream. GFP_NOIO means we could be getting called recursively - mca_alloc() -> mca_data_alloc() - definitely can't use mutex_lock(bucket_lock) then. Whoops.
