So it seems to me the following patch would be the right one: [akpm@xxxxxxxx: compile fix] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> --- fs/block_dev.c | 114 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 56 insertions(+), 58 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/block_dev.c~lockdep-fix-blkdev_open-warning fs/block_dev.c --- a/fs/block_dev.c~lockdep-fix-blkdev_open-warning +++ a/fs/block_dev.c @@ -884,6 +884,61 @@ void bd_set_size(struct block_device *bd } EXPORT_SYMBOL(bd_set_size); +static int __blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev, unsigned int subclass) +{ + int ret = 0; + struct inode *bd_inode = bdev->bd_inode; + struct gendisk *disk = bdev->bd_disk; + + mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, subclass); + lock_kernel(); + if (!--bdev->bd_openers) { + sync_blockdev(bdev); + kill_bdev(bdev); + } + if (bdev->bd_contains == bdev) { + if (disk->fops->release) + ret = disk->fops->release(bd_inode, NULL); + } else { + mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, + subclass + 1); + bdev->bd_contains->bd_part_count--; + mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex); + } + if (!bdev->bd_openers) { + struct module *owner = disk->fops->owner; + + put_disk(disk); + module_put(owner); + + if (bdev->bd_contains != bdev) { + kobject_put(&bdev->bd_part->kobj); + bdev->bd_part = NULL; + } + bdev->bd_disk = NULL; + bdev->bd_inode->i_data.backing_dev_info = &default_backing_dev_info; + if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) + __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, subclass + 1); + bdev->bd_contains = NULL; + } + unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_mutex); + bdput(bdev); + return ret; +} + +int blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev) +{ + return __blkdev_put(bdev, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL); +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(blkdev_put); + +int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *bdev) +{ + return __blkdev_put(bdev, BD_MUTEX_PARTITION); +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(blkdev_put_partition); + static int blkdev_get_whole(struct block_device *bdev, mode_t mode, unsigned flags); @@ -980,7 +1035,7 @@ out_first: bdev->bd_disk = NULL; bdev->bd_inode->i_data.backing_dev_info = &default_backing_dev_info; if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) - blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains); + __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, BD_MUTEX_WHOLE); bdev->bd_contains = NULL; put_disk(disk); module_put(owner); @@ -1079,63 +1134,6 @@ static int blkdev_open(struct inode * in return res; } -static int __blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev, unsigned int subclass) -{ - int ret = 0; - struct inode *bd_inode = bdev->bd_inode; - struct gendisk *disk = bdev->bd_disk; - - mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, subclass); - lock_kernel(); - if (!--bdev->bd_openers) { - sync_blockdev(bdev); - kill_bdev(bdev); - } - if (bdev->bd_contains == bdev) { - if (disk->fops->release) - ret = disk->fops->release(bd_inode, NULL); - } else { - mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, - subclass + 1); - bdev->bd_contains->bd_part_count--; - mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex); - } - if (!bdev->bd_openers) { - struct module *owner = disk->fops->owner; - - put_disk(disk); - module_put(owner); - - if (bdev->bd_contains != bdev) { - kobject_put(&bdev->bd_part->kobj); - bdev->bd_part = NULL; - } - bdev->bd_disk = NULL; - bdev->bd_inode->i_data.backing_dev_info = &default_backing_dev_info; - if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) - __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, subclass + 1); - bdev->bd_contains = NULL; - } - unlock_kernel(); - mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_mutex); - bdput(bdev); - return ret; -} - -int blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev) -{ - return __blkdev_put(bdev, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL); -} - -EXPORT_SYMBOL(blkdev_put); - -int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *bdev) -{ - return __blkdev_put(bdev, BD_MUTEX_PARTITION); -} - -EXPORT_SYMBOL(blkdev_put_partition); - static int blkdev_close(struct inode * inode, struct file * filp) { struct block_device *bdev = I_BDEV(filp->f_mapping->host); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx are mm-tracking-shared-dirty-pages.patch mm-balance-dirty-pages.patch mm-optimize-the-new-mprotect-code-a-bit.patch mm-small-cleanup-of-install_page.patch mm-fixup-do_wp_page.patch mm-msync-cleanup.patch mm-tracking-shared-dirty-pages-checks.patch mm-tracking-shared-dirty-pages-wimp.patch mm-swap-write-failure-fixup.patch mm-swap-write-failure-fixup-update.patch mm-swap-write-failure-fixup-fix.patch block_devc-mutex_lock_nested-fix.patch nfsd-lockdep-annotation.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
