[PATCH] xfs: clarify lock ordering comment
From: Ross Zwisler
Date: Thu Oct 08 2015 - 17:58:11 EST
Replace "i_mmap_lock" with "mmap_lock" in the lock ordering comment above
xfs_filemap_page_mkwrite(). The lock in question is actually the
XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED rw_semaphore (no leading "i"), and this comment is
easily confused with the "i_mmap_lock_[read|write]" functions that operate
on struct address_space->i_mmap_rwsem. This clarification is especially
important because address_space->i_mmap_rwsem is taken down in the DAX
code as part of this fault path.
