While running the xfsqa regression test suite, lockdep triggered the
following complaint, as shown below.
I *think* it is a false positive, since the issue involves chown
triggering a write to the quota file; and during the write, we are
extending the quota file, which means grabbing i_data_sem while we have
already grabbed the inode mutex for the quota file.
The potential circular locking dependency that lockdep is complaining
occurs only when we are mounting the filesystem, and reading from the
quota file; and at that point we wouldn't be writing other files and
needing to update quota file as aresult. So I don't think this is a
problem in practice, but (1) i'd like a second opinion, and (2) I'm not
sure what's the best way to make lockdep happy.
Jan, what do you think?
Thanks,
