 *** DEADLOCK ***

[Analysis] 
The inotify_new_watch() call passes through GFP_KERNEL, use memalloc_nofs_save/
memalloc_nofs_restore to make sure we don't end up with the fs reclaim dependency.

I don't think this can actually happen, because an inode with
an inotify mark cannot get evicted, but I cannot think of a way to annotate
this to lockdep, so if we need to silence lockdep, this is what
FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS was created for.

Well, in the trace above dentry reclaim apparently raced with unlink and so
ended up going to dentry_unlink_inode() -> fsnotify_inoderemove() which
does indeed end up grabbing group->mark_mutex.

So yes, inotify needs FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS as well. In fact this trace shows
that any notification group needs to use NOFS allocations to be safe
against this race so we can just remove FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS and
unconditionally do memalloc_nofs_save() in fsnotify_group_lock(). Lizhi,
will you send a patch please?

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(fs_reclaim);
                               lock(&group->mark_mutex);
                               lock(fs_reclaim);
  lock(&group->mark_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

[Analysis] 
The inotify_new_watch() call passes through GFP_KERNEL, use memalloc_nofs_save/
memalloc_nofs_restore to make sure we don't end up with the fs reclaim dependency.

That any notification group needs to use NOFS allocations to be safe
against this race so we can just remove FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS and
unconditionally do memalloc_nofs_save() in fsnotify_group_lock().

You missed several more instances of FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS
that need to be removed, and please also remove the definition of the
flag as well as the nofs_marks_lock lockdep key that is no longer needed.

       ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(fs_reclaim);
                               lock(&group->mark_mutex);
                               lock(fs_reclaim);
  lock(&group->mark_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

[Analysis]
The inotify_new_watch() call passes through GFP_KERNEL, use memalloc_nofs_save/
memalloc_nofs_restore to make sure we don't end up with the fs reclaim dependency.

That any notification group needs to use NOFS allocations to be safe
against this race so we can just remove FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS and
unconditionally do memalloc_nofs_save() in fsnotify_group_lock().
