Subject: [PATCH] mm/thp: Do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 18:07:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180315150747.31945-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)

deferred_split_scan() gets called from reclaim path. Waiting for page
lock may lead to deadlock there.

Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed
to lock it. We will get to the page on the next scan.
