From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
The current directory parent scrubbing code could be tighter in its
execution -- instead of bailing out to userspace after a couple of
seconds of waiting for the (alleged) parent directory's IOLOCK while
refusing to release the child directory's IOLOCK, we could just cycle
both locks until we get both or the child process absorbs a fatal
signal.
Note that because the usual sequence is to take IOLOCKs before grabbing
a transaction, we have to use the _nowait variants on both inodes to
avoid an ABBA deadlock. Since parent pointer checking is the only place
in scrub that needs this kind of functionality, move it to parent.c as a
private function.
Furthermore, if the child directory's parent changes during the lock
cycling, we know that the new parent has stamped the correct parent into
the dotdot entry, so we can conclude that the parent entry is correct.
This eliminates an entire source of -EDEADLOCK-based "retry harder"
scrub executions.
