From 2f79eddd49d391aded0b0c20f7eef3bec6d5e096 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:05:48 -0600 Subject: vfs: __read_cache_page should use gfp argument rather than GFP_KERNEL commit e6f67b8c05f5e129e126f4409ddac6f25f58ffcb upstream. lockdep reports a deadlock in jfs because a special inode's rw semaphore is taken recursively. The mapping's gfp mask is GFP_NOFS, but is not used when __read_cache_page() calls add_to_page_cache_lru().
