    ext2: Remove GFP_NOFS use in ext2_xattr_cache_insert() · c3e637c7
    Jan Kara authored
    
    ext2_xattr_cache_insert() calls mb_cache_entry_create() with GFP_NOFS
    because it is called under EXT2_I(inode)->xattr_sem. However xattr_sem
    or any higher ranking lock is not acquired on fs reclaim path for ext2
    at least since we don't do page writeback from direct reclaim.  Thus
    GFP_NOFS is not needed.
