| |
2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit c09c59e6a070d6af05f238f255aea268185273ef upstream.
While running fsstress tests on the NFSv4 mounted ext3 and ext4 filesystem, the following call trace was generated on the nfs server machine.
Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS in ima_iint_insert() to avoid a potential deadlock.
