From 9ef7db7f38d0472dd9c444e42d5c5175ccbe5451 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 11:40:17 +0400 Subject: ufs: fix deadlocks introduced by sb mutex merge Commit 0244756edc4b ("ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy") introduces deadlocks in ufs_new_inode() and ufs_free_inode(). Most callers of that functions acqure the mutex by themselves and ufs_{new,free}_inode() do that via lock_ufs(), i.e we have an unavoidable double lock. The patch proposes to resolve the issue by making sure that ufs_{new,free}_inode() are not called with the mutex held. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
