The patch titled Lockdep: add i_mutex ordering annotations to the sunrpc pipe code has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-add-i_mutex-ordering-annotations-to-the-sunrpc.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Lockdep: add i_mutex ordering annotations to the sunrpc pipe code From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Add i_mutex ordering annotations to the sunrpc rpc_pipe code. This code has 3 levels of i_mutex hierarchy in some cases: parent dir, client dir and file inside client dir; the i_mutex ordering is I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL This patch applies this ordering annotation to the various functions. This is in line with the VFS expected ordering where it is always OK to lock a child after locking a parent; the sunrpc code is very diligent in doing this correctly.
