The intro was somehow truncated. It should be: This patch series removes the dependency between holding the lock of a mark and holding the lock of the marks fsobject (inode/vfsmount). Right now we have to use the following locking order 1. mark lock 2. inode/vfsmount lock With these patches only one of both locks are taken at the same time, which removes the need for a strict locking order. These patches depend on patch "inotify: fix race when adding a new watch" sent to lkml on Feb. 11.
