Looking around, the usual pattern for simple nesting seems to be to use just mutex_lock() for the outer lock (equivalent to mutex_lock_nested(0)), and mutex_lock_nested(., SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING) for the inner lock. Or we could define a new LOCK_STATEID_MUTEX, assuming the rule here is "lock stateid's are locked after open stateid's". Just a question of might be simpler to understand. --b. > > Signed-off-by: Andrew Elble <aweits@xxxxxxx> > --- > v2: added mutex_lock_nested to init_lock_stateid() for consistency > > fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 6 +++--- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c b/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > index 0d98d73bd84e..62909f3947b2 100644 > --- a/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > @@ -3548,7 +3548,7 @@ static void nfs4_free_openowner(struct nfs4_stateowner *so) > { > __be32 ret; > > - mutex_lock(&stp->st_mutex); > + mutex_lock_nested(&stp->st_mutex, 1); > ret = nfsd4_verify_open_stid(&stp->st_stid); > if (ret != nfs_ok) > mutex_unlock(&stp->st_mutex); > @@ -3612,7 +3612,7 @@ static void nfs4_free_openowner(struct nfs4_stateowner *so) > stp = open->op_stp; > /* We are moving these outside of the spinlocks to avoid the warnings */ > mutex_init(&stp->st_mutex); > - mutex_lock(&stp->st_mutex); > + mutex_lock_nested(&stp->st_mutex, 0); > > retry: > spin_lock(&oo->oo_owner.so_client->cl_lock); > @@ -5692,7 +5692,7 @@ static void nfs4_free_lockowner(struct nfs4_stateowner *sop) > struct nfs4_ol_stateid *retstp; > > mutex_init(&stp->st_mutex); > - mutex_lock(&stp->st_mutex); > + mutex_lock_nested(&stp->st_mutex, 0); > retry: > spin_lock(&clp->cl_lock); > spin_lock(&fp->fi_lock); > -- > 1.8.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
