Any time the first block group of a new type is created, we add a new kobject to sysfs to hold the attributes for that type. Kobject-internal allocations always use GFP_KERNEL, making them prone to fs-reclaim races. While it appears as if this can occur any time a block group is created, the only times the first block group of a new type can be created in memory is at mount and when we create the first new block group during raid conversion. This patch adds a new list to track pending kobject additions and then handles them after we do chunk relocation. Between relocating the target chunk (or forcing allocation of a new chunk in the case of data) and removing the old chunk, we're in a safe place for fs-reclaim to occur. We're holding the volume mutex, which is already held across page faults, and the delete_unused_bgs_mutex, which will only stall the cleaner thread.

README
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.
