issue_discard() passes GFP_NOWAIT to __blkdev_issue_discard() despite its code assuming bio_alloc() always succeeds. Commit3dba53a958("dm thin: use __blkdev_issue_discard for async discard support") clearly shows where things went bad: Before commit3dba53a958, dm-thin.c's open-coded __blkdev_issue_discard_async() properly handled using GFP_NOWAIT. Unfortunately __blkdev_issue_discard() doesn't and it was missed during review. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>
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.
