[PATCH 49/58] staging: lustre: llite: avoid a deadlock in page write

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jinshan Xiong <jinshan.xiong@xxxxxxxxx>

For a partial page write, it will have to issue a READ RPC firstly
to get a full uptodate page. If another page is already locked by
this thread it can easily cause deadlock.
