There is a false positive lockdep warning in how the xfs code handle filesystem freeze:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(sb_internal); lock(fs_reclaim); lock(sb_internal); lock(fs_reclaim);
*** DEADLOCK ***
This patch series works around this problem by adding a PF_MEMALLOC_NOLOCKDEP flag and set during filesystem freeze to avoid the lockdep splat.
