Depending on the workloads, the following circular locking dependency
warning between sb_internal (a percpu rwsem) and fs_reclaim (a pseudo
lock) may show up:

This is a false positive as all the dirty pages are flushed out before
the filesystem can be frozen.

One way to avoid this splat is to add GFP_NOFS to the affected allocation
calls by using the memalloc_nofs_save()/memalloc_nofs_restore() pair.
This shouldn't matter unless the system is really running out of memory.
In that particular case, the filesystem freeze operation may fail while
it was succeeding previously.

Without this patch, the command sequence below will show that the lock
dependency chain sb_internal -> fs_reclaim exists.

 # fsfreeze -f /home
 # fsfreeze --unfreeze /home
 # grep -i fs_reclaim -C 3 /proc/lockdep_chains | grep -C 5 sb_internal

After applying the patch, such sb_internal -> fs_reclaim lock dependency
chain can no longer be found. Because of that, the locking dependency
warning will not be shown.
