From 192e501b0438bb0e1574179773537f84c4752e25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:45:16 -0700 Subject: nfs: prevent page allocator recursions with swap over NFS. GFP_NOFS is _more_ permissive than GFP_NOIO in that it will initiate IO, just not of any filesystem data. The problem is that previously NOFS was correct because that avoids recursion into the NFS code. With swap-over-NFS, it is no longer correct as swap IO can lead to this recursion.
