[PATCH 217/241] GFS2: Don't call file_accessed() with a shared glock

From: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski

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

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

From: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3d1626889a64bd5a661544d582036a0a02104a60 upstream.

file_accessed() was being called by gfs2_mmap() with a shared glock. If it
needed to update the atime, it was crashing because it dirtied the inode in
gfs2_dirty_inode() without holding an exclusive lock. gfs2_dirty_inode()
checked if the caller was already holding a glock, but it didn't make sure that
the glock was in the exclusive state. Now, instead of calling file_accessed()
while holding the shared lock in gfs2_mmap(), file_accessed() is called after
grabbing and releasing the glock to update the inode. If file_accessed() needs
to update the atime, it will grab an exclusive lock in gfs2_dirty_inode().

gfs2_dirty_inode() now also checks to make sure that if the calling process has
already locked the glock, it has an exclusive lock.
