[ Upstream commit 5363ee9d110e139584c2d92a0b640bc210588506 ] Filesystems can write to disk from page reclaim with __GFP_FS set. Marc found a case where scsi_realloc_sdev_budget_map() ends up in page reclaim with GFP_KERNEL, where it could try to take filesystem locks again, leading to a deadlock. WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.13.0 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/70 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8881025d5d78 (&q->q_usage_counter(io)){++++}-{0:0}, at: blk_mq_submit_bio+0x461/0x6e0 but task is already holding lock: ffffffff81ef5f40 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x9f/0x760 The full lockdep splat can be found in Marc's report: https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/1/24/1101 Avoid the potential deadlock by doing the allocation with GFP_NOIO, which prevents both filesystem and block layer recursion.

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.
