Re: [PATCH] ext3: ext3_symlink should use GFP_NOFS allocations inside (ver. 3)

Andrew,

Fixed both comments from Al Viro (thanks, Al):
- should have a separate helper
- should pass 0 instead of GFP_KERNEL in page_symlink()



+ page = find_or_create_page(mapping, 0,
+ mapping_gfp_mask(mapping) | gfp_mask);




this does not work; GFP_NOFS has a bit *LESS* than GFP_KERNEL, not a bit
more. As such a | operation isn't going to be useful....

(So I think that while Al's intention was good, the implication of it
isn't ;)
Oh no... Had to sleep well today... :/
Al, are you agree with the original patch then?
I don't think it is a good idea to introduce AND mask instead :)

Thanks,
Kirill
