Dave Chinner 4df0f7f145 xfs: fix transaction allocation deadlock in IO path
xfs_trans_alloc() does GFP_KERNEL allocation, and we can call it
while holding pages locked for writeback in the ->writepages path.
The memory allocation is allowed to wait on pages under writeback,
and so can wait on pages that are tagged as writeback by the
caller.

This affects both pre-IO submission and post-IO submission paths.
Hence xfs_setsize_trans_alloc(), xfs_reflink_end_cow(),
xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() and xfs_reflink_cancel_cow_range().
xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() already does the right thing, but the
others don't. Fix them.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
