btrfs: defer adding raid type kobject until after chunk relocation Any time the first block group of a new type is created, we add a new kobject to sysfs to hold the attributes for that type. Kobject-internal allocations always use GFP_KERNEL, making them prone to fs-reclaim races. While it appears as if this can occur any time a block group is created, the only times the first block group of a new type can be created in memory is at mount and when we create the first new block group during raid conversion. This patch adds a new list to track pending kobject additions and then handles them after we do chunk relocation. Between relocating the target chunk (or forcing allocation of a new chunk in the case of data) and removing the old chunk, we're in a safe place for fs-reclaim to occur. We're holding the volume mutex, which is already held across page faults, and the delete_unused_bgs_mutex, which will only stall the cleaner thread.
