Hi, I posted a 5 patch series to the nfs list last week with the cover letter titled "nfs_page_group_lock cleanup”, but neglected to mail the wider list. The might_sleep check was being hit because nfs_page_group_lock with wait=False called wait_on_bit_lock (which might sleep). I also had to be careful to ignore the nonblock argument in nfs_lock_and_join_requests and always call nonblocking, because the inode lock is held. Blocking is handled by dropping the inode lock, calling wait_on_bit(), then trying again. The cover letter for the patchset is below. Thanks! -dros These patches clean up some issues surrouding nfs_page_group_lock: - normalize wait/nonblock argument - make nonblocking calls really nonblocking - handle errors - ensure that we don't call blocking nfs_page_group_lock when holding the inode spinlock This cleanup was inspired by Fengguang Wu's report that we were sleeping with locks held in nfs_lock_and_join_requests.
