xfs_reflink_convert_cow() manipulates the incore extent list in GFP_KERNEL context in the IO submission path whilst holding locked pages under writeback. This is a memory reclaim deadlock vector. This code is not in a transaction, so any memory allocations it makes aren't protected via the memalloc_nofs_save() context that transactions carry. Hence we need to run this call under memalloc_nofs_save() context to prevent potential memory allocations from being run as GFP_KERNEL and deadlocking. Signed-Off-By:
