When we map pages in the buffer cache, we can do so in GFP_NOFS contexts. However, the vmap interfaces do not provide any method of communicating this information to memory reclaim, and hence we get lockdep complaining about it regularly and occassionally see hangs that may be vmap related reclaim deadlocks. We can also see these same problems from anywhere where we use vmalloc for a large buffer (e.g. attribute code) inside a transaction context. A typical lockdep report shows up as a reclaim state warning like so: [14046.101458] ================================= [14046.102850] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] [14046.102850] 3.14.0-rc4+ #2 Not tainted [14046.102850] --------------------------------- [14046.102850] inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

To do that, use the method that DM and other IO context code uses to avoid this problem: there is a process flag to tell memory reclaim not to do IO that we can set appropriately. That prevents GFP_KERNEL context reclaim being done from deep inside the vmalloc code in places we can't directly pass a GFP_NOFS context to. That interface has a pair of wrapper functions: memalloc_noio_save() and memalloc_noio_restore(). Adding them around vm_map_ram and the vzalloc call in kmem_alloc_large() will prevent deadlocks and most lockdep reports for this issue. Also, convert the vzalloc() call in kmem_alloc_large() to use __vmalloc() so that we can pass the correct gfp context to the data page allocation routine inside __vmalloc() so that it is clear that GFP_NOFS context is important to this vmalloc call.
