[PATCH 22/43] staging/lustre/llite: deadlock for page write

From: green
Date: Wed Mar 30 2016 - 12:55:45 EST


From: Jinshan Xiong <jinshan.xiong@xxxxxxxxx>

Writing thread already locked page #1, and then wait for the
Writeback bit of page #2;

Ptlrpc thread is composing a write RPC, so it sets Writeback on
page #2 and tries to lock page #1 to make it ready.

Deadlocked.
