From d8fb02abdc39f92a1066313e2b17047876afa8f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Elder Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:48:10 -0800 Subject: ceph: create a new session lock to avoid lock inversion Lockdep was reporting a possible circular lock dependency in dentry_lease_is_valid(). That function needs to sample the session's s_cap_gen and and s_cap_ttl fields coherently, but needs to do so while holding a dentry lock. The s_cap_lock field was being used to protect the two fields, but that can't be taken while holding a lock on a dentry within the session. In most cases, the s_cap_gen and s_cap_ttl fields only get operated on separately. But in three cases they need to be updated together. Implement a new lock to protect the spots updating both fields atomically is required.
