flush request is issued in transaction commit code path usually, so looks using GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory for flush request bio falls into the classic deadlock issue. dm already gets it right.ping!This one should probably also be queued for -stable right?
I suspect so. I've edited the commit-log message slightly and added a 'cc' for stable, It is now in my for-next branch. I'll push to Linus next week. Thanks Shaohua, NeilBrown
