[PATCH 01/10] dlm: fix up memory allocation flags

From: David Teigland
Date: Tue Dec 23 2008 - 11:14:44 EST


From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@xxxxxxxxxx>

Use ls_allocation for memory allocations, which a cluster fs sets to
GFP_NOFS. Use GFP_NOFS for allocations when no lockspace struct is
available. Taking dlm locks needs to avoid calling back into the
cluster fs because write-out can require taking dlm locks.
