[ Upstream commit 5363ee9d110e139584c2d92a0b640bc210588506 ]
Filesystems can write to disk from page reclaim with __GFP_FS set. Marc found a case where scsi_realloc_sdev_budget_map() ends up in page reclaim with GFP_KERNEL, where it could try to take filesystem locks again, leading to a deadlock.
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.13.0 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/70 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8881025d5d78 (&q->q_usage_counter(io)){++++}-{0:0}, at: blk_mq_submit_bio+0x461/0x6e0
but task is already holding lock: ffffffff81ef5f40 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x9f/0x760
The full lockdep splat can be found in Marc's report:

Avoid the potential deadlock by doing the allocation with GFP_NOIO, which prevents both filesystem and block layer recursion.
