[RFC PATCH] jbd2: avoid __GFP_ZERO with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU

From: Qian Cai
Date: Wed Feb 09 2022 - 11:58:28 EST


Since the linux-next commit 120aa5e57479 (mm: Check for
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and __GFP_ZERO slab allocation), we will get a
boot warning. Avoid it by calling synchronize_rcu() before the zeroing.
