This happens because when we abort the transaction in the transaction commit path we call invalidate_inode_pages2_range on our block group cache inodes (if we have space cache v1) and any delalloc inodes we may have. The plain invalidate_inode_pages2_range() call passes through GFP_KERNEL, which makes sense in most cases, but not here. Wrap these two invalidate callees with memalloc_nofs_save/memalloc_nofs_restore to make sure we don't end up with the fs reclaim dependency under the transaction dependency.
