From: Akira Fujita Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:24:41 +0000 (-0500) Subject: ext4: fix possible recursive locking warning in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49bd22bc4d603a2a4fc2a6a60e156cbea52eb494;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git ext4: fix possible recursive locking warning in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT If CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled, the double_down_write_data_sem() will trigger a false-positive warning of a recursive lock. Since we take i_data_sem for the two inodes ordered by their inode numbers, this isn't a problem. Use of down_write_nested() will notify the lock dependency checker machinery that there is no problem here.
