From 84d86f83f9d0e8431a3c9eae4c47e9d7ff49a411 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:46:57 -0700 Subject: ocfs2: avoid blocking in ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing() in downconvert thread If we are dropping last inode reference from downconvert thread, we will end up calling ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing() which can block if the lock we are freeing is queued thus creating an A-A deadlock. Luckily, since we are the downconvert thread, we can immediately dequeue the lock and thus avoid waiting in this case.
