[051/103] reiserfs: fix dependency inversion between inode and reiserfs mutexes

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Oct 22 2010 - 15:10:58 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3f259d092c7a2fdf217823e8f1838530adb0cdb0 upstream.

The reiserfs mutex already depends on the inode mutex, so we can't lock
the inode mutex in reiserfs_unpack() without using the safe locking API,
because reiserfs_unpack() is always called with the reiserfs mutex locked.

This fixes:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.35c #13
-------------------------------------------------------
lilo/1606 is trying to acquire lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}, at: [<d0329450>] reiserfs_unpack+0x60/0x110 [reiserfs]

but task is already holding lock:
(&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<d032a268>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [reiserfs]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

[<c1056347>] lock_acquire+0x67/0x80

other info that might help us debug this:
