The ABBA deadlock I'm speaking about would not be created with mapping->invalidate_lock but rather with task->mm->mmap_lock which is acquired at the beginning of page fault in the arch code. And when you do write(2), you hold inode_lock() and then you copy data from the use provided buffer to the pagecache pages and that can cause a page fault on the user provided buffer which will try to grab task->mm->mmap_lock. This lock inversion is the main reason why inode lock cannot be used anywhere in the page fault path. Honza -- Jan Kara SUSE Labs, CR
