When an MMU notifier runs in memory reclaim context, it can deadlock trying to take locks that are already held in the thread causing the memory reclaim. The solution is to avoid memory reclaim while holding locks that are taken in MMU notifiers. This commit fixes kmalloc while holding rmn->lock by moving the call outside the lock. The GFX MMU notifier also locks reservation objects. I have no good solution for avoiding reclaim while holding reservation objects. The HSA MMU notifier will not lock any reservation objects. v2: Moved allocation outside lock instead of using GFP_NOIO Signed-off-by: Felix Kuehling <Felix.Kuehling@amd.com> Acked-by: Oded Gabbay <oded.gabbay@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Oded Gabbay <oded.gabbay@gmail.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
