    mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths · 6afdb859
    Michal Hocko 提交于
    page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
    __ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
    add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
    direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.
    
    This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
    path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
    do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
    called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path.  Anyway it
    is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.
