jbd2: get rid of open coded allocation retry loop
insert_revoke_hash does an open coded endless allocation loop if journal_oom_retry is true. It doesn't implement any allocation fallback strategy between the retries, though. The memory allocator doesn't know about the never fail requirement so it cannot potentially help to move on with the allocation (e.g. use memory reserves). Get rid of the retry loop and use __GFP_NOFAIL instead. We will lose the debugging message but I am not sure it is anyhow helpful. Do the same for journal_alloc_journal_head which is doing a similar thing. Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
