The scrub context is allocated with GFP_KERNEL and called from btrfs_scrub_dev under the fs_info::device_list_mutex. This is not safe regarding reclaim that could try to flush filesystem data in order to get the memory. And the device_list_mutex is held during superblock commit, so this would cause a lockup. Move the alocation and initialization before any changes that require the mutex. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
