When fixing up the first key of each node above the current level, at fixup_low_keys(), we are doing a GFP_ATOMIC allocation for inserting an operation record for the tree mod log. However we can do just fine with GFP_NOFS nowadays. The need for GFP_ATOMIC was for the old days when we had custom locks with spinning behaviour for extent buffers and we were in spinning mode while at fixup_low_keys(). Now we use rw semaphores for extent buffer locks, so we can safely use GFP_NOFS.

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.
