[ Upstream commit d29e89e34952a9ad02c77109c71a80043544296e ]
So far there was the possibility that we called
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO)/mutex_lock() while holding an rcu_read_lock().
This included cases like:
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
drbd_bcast_event
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
notify_helper
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
notify_helper
mutex_lock --> may sleep
While using GFP_ATOMIC whould have been possible in the first two cases,
the real fix is to narrow the rcu_read_lock.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
