This will help reduce possible deadlock while holding Fcr to use getattr for read case. Usually we shouldn't use getattr to fetch inline data after getting Fcr caps, because it can cause deadlock. The solution is try uniline the inline data when opening files, thanks David Howells' previous work on uninlining the inline data work. It was caused from one possible call path: ceph_filemap_fault()--> ceph_get_caps(Fcr); filemap_fault()--> do_sync_mmap_readahead()--> page_cache_ra_order()--> read_pages()--> aops->readahead()--> netfs_readahead()--> netfs_begin_read()--> netfs_rreq_submit_slice()--> netfs_read_from_server()--> netfs_ops->issue_read()--> ceph_netfs_issue_read()--> ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline()--> getattr() ceph_pu_caps_ref(Fcr); This because if the Locker state is LOCK_EXEC_MIX for auth MDS, and the replica MDSes' lock state is LOCK_LOCK. Then the kclient could get 'Frwcb' caps from both auth and replica MDSes. But if the getattr is sent to any MDS, the MDS needs to do Locker transition to LOCK_MIX first and then to LOCK_SYNC. But when transfering to LOCK_MIX state the MDS Locker need to revoke the Fcb caps back, but the kclient already holding it and waiting the MDS to finish.
