[PATCH] UBIFS: always read hashed-key nodes under TNC mutex

From: Artem Bityutskiy
Date: Sun Aug 31 2008 - 09:15:41 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

Leaf-nodes that have a hashed key are stored in the
leaf-node-cache (LNC) which is protected by the TNC
mutex. Consequently, when reading a leaf node with
a hashed key (i.e. directory entries, xattr entries)
the TNC mutex is always required.
