[PATCH 4.8 41/57] jbd2: fix lockdep annotation in add_transaction_credits()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Oct 21 2016 - 05:22:56 EST


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

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit e03a9976afce6634826d56c33531dd10bb9a9166 upstream.

Thomas has reported a lockdep splat hitting in
add_transaction_credits(). The problem is that that function calls
jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() while holding j_state_lock which is wrong
(we do not really wait for transaction commit while holding that lock).

Fix the problem by moving jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() into places where
we are ready to wait for transaction commit and thus j_state_lock is
unlocked.
