[PATCH] xfs: clarify lock ordering comment

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

 



Replace "i_mmap_lock" with "mmap_lock" in the lock ordering comment above
xfs_filemap_page_mkwrite().  The lock in question is actually the
XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED rw_semaphore (no leading "i"), and this comment is
easily confused with the "i_mmap_lock_[read|write]" functions that operate
on struct address_space->i_mmap_rwsem.  This clarification is especially
important because address_space->i_mmap_rwsem is taken down in the DAX
code as part of this fault path.
