[PATCH] down i_data_sem only for read when walking tree for fiemap

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

 



Not sure why I put this in as down_write originally; all we are
doing is walking the tree, nothing will change under us and
concurrent reads should be no problem.
