Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:33:48 -0500 Subject: svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e75bafbff2270993926abcc31358361db74a9bc2 upstream. svc_age_temp_xprts expires xprts in a two-step process: first it takes the sv_lock and moves the xprts to expire off their server-wide list (sv_tempsocks or sv_permsocks) to a local list. Then it drops the sv_lock and enqueues and puts each one. I see no reason for this: svc_xprt_enqueue() will take sp_lock, but the sv_lock and sp_lock are not otherwise nested anywhere (and documentation at the top of this file claims it's correct to nest these with sp_lock inside.)
