From 1de7ce2b94fd02cba8e2fb0b2b6f341c5f920ce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2015 12:33:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: replace open coded nofail allocation in ext4_free_blocks() commit 7444a072c387a93ebee7066e8aee776954ab0e41 upstream. ext4_free_blocks is looping around the allocation request and mimics __GFP_NOFAIL behavior without any allocation fallback strategy. Let's remove the open coded loop and replace it with __GFP_NOFAIL. Without the flag the allocator has no way to find out never-fail requirement and cannot help in any way.
