From 8b2ea9a3a159fcdad4b22513be84189fc0db1666 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Gruenbacher Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2022 18:32:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gfs2: Disable page faults during lockless buffered reads [ Upstream commit 52f3f033a5dbd023307520af1ff551cadfd7f037 ] During lockless buffered reads, filemap_read() holds page cache page references while trying to copy data to the user-space buffer. The calling process isn't holding the inode glock, but the page references it holds prevent those pages from being removed from the page cache, and that prevents the underlying inode glock from being moved to another node. Thus, we can end up in the same kinds of distributed deadlock situations as with normal (non-lockless) buffered reads. Fix that by disabling page faults during lockless reads as well.
