The ext4_block_truncate_page() function previously called grab_cache_page(), which called find_or_create_page() with the __GFP_FS flag potentially set. This could cause a deadlock if the system is low on memory and it attempts a memory reclaim, which could potentially call back into ext4. So we need to call find_or_create_page() directly, and remove the __GFP_FP flag to avoid this potential deadlock. Thanks to Roland Dreier for reporting a lockdep warning which showed this problem.
