Josef Bacik 11a19a9087 btrfs: allocate new inode in NOFS context
A user reported a lockdep splat

 ======================================================
 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 5.2.11-gentoo #2 Not tainted
 ------------------------------------------------------
 kswapd0/711 is trying to acquire lock:
 000000007777a663 (sb_internal){.+.+}, at: start_transaction+0x3a8/0x500

but task is already holding lock:
 000000000ba86300 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x0/0x30

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

This is because btrfs_new_inode() calls new_inode() under the
transaction.  We could probably move the new_inode() outside of this but
for now just wrap it in memalloc_nofs_save().

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.

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.
