Subject: dm: use noio when sending kobject event
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6958c1c640af8c3f40fa8a2eee3b5b905d95b677;p=linux.git

dm: use noio when sending kobject event

kobject_uevent may allocate memory and it may be called while there are dm
devices suspended. The allocation may recurse into a suspended device,
causing a deadlock. We must set the noio flag when sending a uevent.

The observed deadlock was reported here:
