From: Josef Bacik josef@toxicpanda.com Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 10:52:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix lockdep splat in add_missing_dev
Nikolay reported a lockdep splat in generic/476 that I could reproduce with btrfs/187.

This is because we are holding the chunk_mutex when we call btrfs_alloc_device, which does a GFP_KERNEL allocation. We don't want to switch that to a GFP_NOFS lock because this is the only place where it matters. So instead use memalloc_nofs_save() around the allocation in order to avoid the lockdep splat.
