From 08b005f1333154ae5b404ca28766e0ffb9f1c150 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 11:58:20 -0800 Subject: xfs: remove kmem_zalloc_greedy The sole remaining caller of kmem_zalloc_greedy is bulkstat, which uses it to grab 1-4 pages for staging of inobt records. The infinite loop in the greedy allocation function is causing hangs[1] in generic/269, so just get rid of the greedy allocator in favor of kmem_zalloc_large. This makes bulkstat somewhat more likely to ENOMEM if there's really no pages to spare, but eliminates a source of hangs.
