Subject: shmem: fix faulting into a hole while it's punched, take 2
I suspect there's something off with this patch, as the shmem_fallocate
hangs are back... Pretty much same as before:
Thank you for reporting, but that is depressing news.
I don't see what's wrong with this (take 2) patch,
and I don't see that it's been garbled in any way in next-20140708.

...but it already holds i_mutex, acquired at shmem_fallocate+0x6c.
Am I reading that correctly?
I wonder, why wouldn't lockdep fire here if it was a double lock? I
assume lockdep is enabled. It seems to me that the lock #1 is being
printed because it's being acquired, not because it already is acquired.
__mutex_lock_common() calls mutex_acquire_nest() *before* it actually
tries to acquire the mutex. So the output is just confusing.
So it would again help to see stacks of other tasks, to see who holds
the i_mutex and where it's stuck...
Vlastimil
In my source for next-20140708, the only return from shmem_fallocate()
which omits to mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex) is the "return -EOPNOTSUPP"
at the top, just before the mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex). And inode
doesn't get reassigned in the middle.
Does 3.16.0-rc4-next-20140708-sasha-00022-g94c7290-dirty look different?
