2012-03-10udf: Fix deadlock in udf_release_file()Jan Kara
udf_release_file() can be called from munmap() path with mmap_sem held. Thus we cannot take i_mutex there because that ranks above mmap_sem. Luckily, i_mutex is not needed in udf_release_file() anymore since protection by i_data_sem is enough to protect from races with write and truncate.

2012-01-09udf: Fix deadlock when converting file from in-ICB one to normal oneJan Kara
During BKL removal in 2.6.38, conversion of files from in-ICB format to normal format got broken. We call ->writepage with i_data_sem held but udf_get_block() also acquires i_data_sem thus creating A-A deadlock. We fix the problem by dropping i_data_sem before calling ->writepage() which is safe since i_mutex still protects us against any changes in the file. Also fix pagelock - i_data_sem lock inversion in udf_expand_file_adinicb() by dropping i_data_sem before calling find_or_create_page().

2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
