Subject: [PATCH 6/6] f2fs: avoid double lock for cp_rwsem
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:35:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419179723-3234-6-git-send-email-jaegeuk@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1419179723-3234-1-git-send-email-jaegeuk@kernel.org>

The __f2fs_add_link is covered by cp_rwsem all the time.
This calls init_inode_metadata, which conducts some acl operations including
memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL previously.
But, under memory pressure, f2fs_write_data_page can be called, which also
grabs cp_mutex too.
Basically, it's safe since down_read was used in both of cases, but it'd
better avoid this situation in advance.
