[PATCH 3.15 38/66] NFS: Use raw_write_seqcount_begin/end int nfs4_reclaim_open_state

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jul 04 2014 - 18:56:58 EST


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

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

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit abbec2da13f0e4c5d9b78b7e2c025a3e617228ba upstream.

The addition of lockdep code to write_seqcount_begin/end has lead to
a bunch of false positive claims of ABBA deadlocks with the so_lock
spinlock. Audits show that this simply cannot happen because the
read side code does not spin while holding so_lock.
