Subject: [PATCH 3/4]ext4: Fix possible recursive locking warning in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:42:01 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AEA98C9.8030707@rs.jp.nec.com> (raw)
ext4: Fix possible recursive locking warning in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
From: Akira Fujita <a-fujita@rs.jp.nec.com>
If kernel configuration related to lock debugging is enabled,
we get possible recursive locking warning.
Therefore, use down_write_nested() to guarantee
the lock order explicitly.
This problem has been reported by Brian Rogers before.
