Subject: [PATCH 0/4] ext3: crossport ext3 sb_lock changes
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:55:56 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B268A3C.8060708@redhat.com> (raw)
I ran into a deadlock in ext3 resize due to orphan list manipulation
and filesystem resizing both wanting to grab the sb_lock, and stepping
on each other.
This patch series backports 4 ext4 commits to ext3, pretty trivial
changes to un-overload the superblock lock.
Thanks,
-Eric
