OK - but I think a proper fix would be to preallocate the chunks and the radix tree when the device is created.
If the system is highly stressed, it may be possible that the GFP_NOIO allocation would wait for some data being written back - and the write back may be directed back to the dm-zoned device, waiting for the GFP_NOIO allocation to succeed.
Hello Mikulas,
Thank you for the feedback. We will look further into this.
Bart.
