Subject: xfs: pull up iolock from xfs_free_eofblocks()
From: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit a36b926180cda375ac2ec89e1748b47137cfc51c upstream.
xfs_free_eofblocks() requires the IOLOCK_EXCL lock, but is called from
different contexts where the lock may or may not be held. The
need_iolock parameter exists for this reason, to indicate whether
xfs_free_eofblocks() must acquire the iolock itself before it can
proceed.
This is ugly and confusing. Simplify the semantics of
xfs_free_eofblocks() to require the caller to acquire the iolock
appropriately and kill the need_iolock parameter. While here, the mp
param can be removed as well as the xfs_mount is accessible from the
xfs_inode structure. This patch does not change behavior.
