The patch titled Revert bd_mount_mutex back to a semaphore has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Revert bd_mount_mutex back to a semaphore From: David Chinner <dgc@xxxxxxx> Revert bd_mount_mutex back to a semaphore so that xfs_freeze -f /mnt/newtest; xfs_freeze -u /mnt/newtest works safely and doesn't produce lockdep warnings. (XFS unlocks the semaphore from a different task, by design. The mutex code warns about this) Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dgc@xxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> --- fs/block_dev.c | 2 +- fs/buffer.c | 6 +++--- fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c | 4 ++-- fs/super.c | 4 ++-- include/linux/fs.h | 2 +- 5 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/block_dev.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore fs/block_dev.c --- a/fs/block_dev.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore +++ a/fs/block_dev.c @@ -411,7 +411,7 @@ static void init_once(void * foo, struct { memset(bdev, 0, sizeof(*bdev)); mutex_init(&bdev->bd_mutex); - mutex_init(&bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + sema_init(&bdev->bd_mount_sem, 1); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdev->bd_inodes); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdev->bd_list); #ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS diff -puN fs/buffer.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore fs/buffer.c --- a/fs/buffer.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore +++ a/fs/buffer.c @@ -180,7 +180,7 @@ int fsync_bdev(struct block_device *bdev * freeze_bdev -- lock a filesystem and force it into a consistent state * @bdev: blockdevice to lock * - * This takes the block device bd_mount_mutex to make sure no new mounts + * This takes the block device bd_mount_sem to make sure no new mounts * happen on bdev until thaw_bdev() is called. * If a superblock is found on this device, we take the s_umount semaphore * on it to make sure nobody unmounts until the snapshot creation is done. @@ -189,7 +189,7 @@ struct super_block *freeze_bdev(struct b { struct super_block *sb; - mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + down(&bdev->bd_mount_sem); sb = get_super(bdev); if (sb && !(sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY)) { sb->s_frozen = SB_FREEZE_WRITE; @@ -231,7 +231,7 @@ void thaw_bdev(struct block_device *bdev drop_super(sb); } - mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + up(&bdev->bd_mount_sem); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(thaw_bdev); diff -puN fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c --- a/fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore +++ a/fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c @@ -867,9 +867,9 @@ static int gfs2_get_sb_meta(struct file_ error = -EBUSY; goto error; } - mutex_lock(&sb->s_bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + down(&sb->s_bdev->bd_mount_sem); new = sget(fs_type, test_bdev_super, set_bdev_super, sb->s_bdev); - mutex_unlock(&sb->s_bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + up(&sb->s_bdev->bd_mount_sem); if (IS_ERR(new)) { error = PTR_ERR(new); goto error; diff -puN fs/super.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore fs/super.c --- a/fs/super.c~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore +++ a/fs/super.c @@ -753,9 +753,9 @@ int get_sb_bdev(struct file_system_type * will protect the lockfs code from trying to start a snapshot * while we are mounting */ - mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + down(&bdev->bd_mount_sem); s = sget(fs_type, test_bdev_super, set_bdev_super, bdev); - mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_mount_mutex); + up(&bdev->bd_mount_sem); if (IS_ERR(s)) goto error_s; diff -puN include/linux/fs.h~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore include/linux/fs.h --- a/include/linux/fs.h~revert-bd_mount_mutex-back-to-a-semaphore +++ a/include/linux/fs.h @@ -459,7 +459,7 @@ struct block_device { struct inode * bd_inode; /* will die */ int bd_openers; struct mutex bd_mutex; /* open/close mutex */ - struct mutex bd_mount_mutex; /* mount mutex */ + struct semaphore bd_mount_sem; struct list_head bd_inodes; void * bd_holder; int bd_holders; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from dgc@xxxxxxx are xfs-remove-useless-wmb-memory-barrier.patch make-bh_unwritten-a-first-class-bufferhead-flag-v2.patch make-xfs-use-bh_unwritten-and-bh_delay-correctly.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
