A user reported a lockdep splat

 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 5.2.11-gentoo #2 Not tainted
 ------------------------------------------------------
 kswapd0/711 is trying to acquire lock:
 000000007777a663 (sb_internal){.+.+}, at: start_transaction+0x3a8/0x500

but task is already holding lock:
 000000000ba86300 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x0/0x30

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

This is because btrfs_new_inode() calls new_inode() under the
transaction.  We could probably move the new_inode() outside of this but
for now just wrap it in memalloc_nofs_save().

If I'm understanding correctly what happens here is that symlinking
wants to instantiate a new inode
(new_inode->btrfs_alloc_inode->kmem_cache_alloc with GFP_KERNEL) but it
triggers background reclaim, hence goes to sleep, while holding a
transaction. At the same time background reclaim joins the same
transaction which is now blocked by the symlinking thread, hence it's
prone to deadlock ?

To aid the stable team figure out to where to backport things, adding
a Fixes tag (Fixes: 712e36c5f2a7fa ("btrfs: use GFP_KERNEL in
btrfs_alloc_inode")) or a " CC: stable@vger.kernel.org #  4.16+" would
help.

Should be unsigned int (it's what memalloc_nofs_save() returns exactly).

Anyway, the change itself looks good to me.

Yes, that's the pattern, GFP_KERNEL inside
start_transaction/commit_transaction. The more generic fix is in the works.
