From 94c0d4ecbe7f9fe56e052b26b2ab484e246c07b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 21:40:23 -0400 Subject: Fix ->d_lock locking order in unlazy_walk() Make sure that child is still a child of parent before nested locking of child->d_lock in unlazy_walk(); otherwise we are risking a violation of locking order and deadlocks.
