xfs: remove kmem_zalloc_greedy
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The sole remaining caller of kmem_zalloc_greedy is bulkstat, which uses
it to grab 1-4 pages for staging of inobt records.  The infinite loop in
the greedy allocation function is causing hangs[1] in generic/269, so
just get rid of the greedy allocator in favor of kmem_zalloc_large.
This makes bulkstat somewhat more likely to ENOMEM if there's really no
pages to spare, but eliminates a source of hangs.
