The patch titled lock validator: special locking: sb->s_umount has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lock-validator-special-locking-sb-s_umount.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lock validator: special locking: sb->s_umount From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Workaround for special sb->s_umount locking rule. s_umount gets held across a series of lock dropping and releasing in prune_one_dentry(), so i changed the order, at the risk of introducing a umount race. FIXME. I think a better fix would be to do the unlocks as _non_nested in prune_one_dentry(), and to do the up_read() here as an up_read_non_nested() as well?
