From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Eric Sandeen Subject: [PATCH 0/4] ext3: crossport ext3 sb_lock changes Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:55:56 -0600 Message-ID: <4B268A3C.8060708@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: Jan Kara , Theodore Tso To: ext4 development Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:28822 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1756692AbZLNSzx (ORCPT ); Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:55:53 -0500 Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 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
