From b76146ed1ae7d7acae1d51f9342e31d00c8d5a12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:49:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] revert "mm: oom analysis: add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()" Revert commit 71de1ccbe1fb40203edd3beb473f8580d917d2ca Author: KOSAKI Motohiro AuthorDate: Mon Sep 21 17:01:31 2009 -0700 Commit: Linus Torvalds CommitDate: Tue Sep 22 07:17:27 2009 -0700 mm: oom analysis: add buffer cache information to show_free_areas() show_free_areas() is called during page allocation failures, and page allocation failures can occur in any calling context. But nr_blockdev_pages() takes VFS locks which should not be taken from hard IRQ context (at least). The result is lockdep warnings (and deadlockability) during page allocation failures.
