[PATCH 1/2] xfs: add a separate bio_set for spliting GC writes

Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:02:48 +0200
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-xfs
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Allocating the new bio for a split from the same pool as the original
one can deadlock under memory pressure as the origin bio could be the
last one from the mempool.

Add a separate pool for splitting GC write bios to avoid this.
