If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro [ Upstream commit 2a8061ee5e41034eb14170ec4517b5583dbeff9f ] We want a class that nests outside of I_MUTEX_NORMAL (for the sake of callbacks that might want to lock the victim) and inside I_MUTEX_PARENT (so that a variant of that could be used with parent of the victim held locked by the caller). In reality, simple_recursive_removal() * never holds two locks at once * holds the lock on parent of dentry passed to callback * is used only on the trees with fixed topology, so the depths are not changing. So the locking order is actually fine. AFAICS, the best solution is to assign I_MUTEX_CHILD to the locks grabbed by that thing.
