reiserfs: fix dependency inversion between inode and reiserfs mutexes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The reiserfs mutex already depends on the inode mutex, so we can't lock
the inode mutex in reiserfs_unpack() without using the safe locking API,
because reiserfs_unpack() is always called with the reiserfs mutex locked.

This fixes:

  =======================================================
  [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
  2.6.35c torvalds#13
  -------------------------------------------------------
  lilo/1606 is trying to acquire lock:
   (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}, at: [<d0329450>] reiserfs_unpack+0x60/0x110 [reiserfs]

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<d032a268>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [reiserfs]

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

  -> #1 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}:

         [<c12f25cd>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb

  other info that might help us debug this:

  1 lock held by lilo/1606:
   #0:  (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<d032a268>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [reiserfs]
