[PATCH 4.9 080/105] Btrfs: fix lockdep warning about log_mutex

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 781feef7e6befafd4d9787d1f7ada1f9ccd504e4 ]

While checking INODE_REF/INODE_EXTREF for a corner case, we may acquire a
different inode's log_mutex with holding the current inode's log_mutex, and
lockdep has complained this with a possilble deadlock warning.

Fix this by using mutex_lock_nested() when processing the other inode's
log_mutex.
