[PATCH v2 08/14] locks: ensure that deadlock detection is atomic with respect to blocked_list modification
From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue Jun 11 2013 - 07:11:04 EST
Sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the file-lock state
steady while checking for them, and also ensure that updates to that
state are atomic with respect to those checks.
For the checking and insertion side, push the acquisition of the
global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that checking and update
of the global lists are done without dropping the lock in between.
On the removal side, when waking up blocked POSIX lock waiters, take
the global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters
from the global list prior to removal from the i_flock list.
With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize
excessive file_lock_lock thrashing.
