Subject: [PATCH 4.0 53/55] fs/ufs: restore s_lock mutex
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2015 00:35:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150708073241.800678656@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150708073238.785749886@linuxfoundation.org>

4.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be>

commit cdd9eefdf905e92e7fc6cc393314efe68dc6ff66 upstream.

Commit 0244756edc4b98c ("ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy") generated
deadlocks in read/write mode on mkdir.

This patch partially reverts it keeping fixes by Andrew Morton and
mutex_destroy()

[AV: fixed a missing bit in ufs_remount()]
