Eric Biggers ab6e8af64f xfs: clear PF_MEMALLOC before exiting xfsaild thread
commit 10a98cb16d80be3595fdb165fad898bb28b8b6d2 upstream.

Leaving PF_MEMALLOC set when exiting a kthread causes it to remain set
during do_exit().  That can confuse things.  In particular, if BSD
process accounting is enabled, then do_exit() writes data to an
accounting file.  If that file has FS_SYNC_FL set, then this write
occurs synchronously and can misbehave if PF_MEMALLOC is set.

For example, if the accounting file is located on an XFS filesystem,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() in iomap_do_writepage() is triggered and the data
doesn't get written when it should.  Or if the accounting file is
located on an ext4 filesystem without a journal, then a WARN_ON_ONCE()
in ext4_write_inode() is triggered and the inode doesn't get written.

Fix this in xfsaild() by using the helper functions to save and restore
PF_MEMALLOC.

This can be reproduced as follows in the kvm-xfstests test appliance
modified to add the 'acct' Debian package, and with kvm-xfstests's
recommended kconfig modified to add CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y:

        mkfs.xfs -f /dev/vdb
        mount /vdb
        touch /vdb/file
        chattr +S /vdb/file
        accton /vdb/file
        mkfs.xfs -f /dev/vdc
        mount /vdc
        umount /vdc

It causes:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
