Jason Woodward has uploaded this change for review. ( https://review.gerrithub.io/c/ffilz/nfs-ganesha/+/1199685?usp=email ) Change subject: nfs_main.c: add prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER,1) call to avoid kernel deadlocks ...................................................................... nfs_main.c: add prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER,1) call to avoid kernel deadlocks See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit... Setting PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER prevents recursive allocation for user space components that are in the I/O path. Otherwise a deadlock can occur when device I/O needs to allocate memory but the allocation would require device I/O to complete.
