[PATCH v2 06/14] locks: don't walk inode->i_flock list in locks_show
From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue Jun 11 2013 - 07:14:37 EST
When we convert over to using the i_lock to protect the i_flock list,
that will introduce a potential lock inversion problem in locks_show.
When we want to walk the i_flock list, we'll need to take the i_lock.
Rather than do that, just walk the global blocked_locks list and print
out any that are blocked on the given lock.
