Subject: [PATCH 4/4] fs/inode.c: always take i_lock before calling filesystem's test() method
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:31:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348219866-1799-5-git-send-email-yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1348219866-1799-1-git-send-email-yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In insert_inode_locked4(), we call test() without i_lock held, it's
inconsistent with other places that calling test(). Though this
function is only used by reiserfs, in which case i_lock is unnecessary,
we should provide test() a consistent locking context.

This patch calls test() under the protection of i_lock in
insert_inode_locked4().
