From 0bae835b63c53f86cdc524f5962e39409585b22c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 13:48:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Avoid writeback threads getting stuck in mempool_alloc() In a low memory situation, allow the NFS writeback code to fail without getting stuck in infinite loops in mempool_alloc().
