[PATCH 0/4] Some reiserfs fixes

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Dec 30 2009 - 00:21:42 EST


Hi,

These patches should fix most of the lock inversions you've reported,
plus some others I've encountered, except may be the one reported by
Yinghai Lu that I'm still trying to reproduce.

I just hope these fixes won't enlight more lock inversions.

Anyway, please give it a try, your reports have been really helpful.

You can merge my branch into latest upstream tree to test it:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
reiserfs/kill-bkl

Thanks!
