This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is, however, not called from the fs layera directly so it doesn't need this protection normally. ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim. The GFP_NOFS protection might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure is propagated up the page fault path and end up in pagefault_out_of_memory. We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different allocation context. Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | GFP_IOFS) because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have to respect those.
