Subject: [PATCH 1/6] GFS2: don't hold s_umount over blkdev_put
Date: Thu,  2 Jan 2014 12:28:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1388665694-1639-2-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1388665694-1639-1-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com>

This is a GFS2 version of Tejun's patch:
4f331f01b9c43bf001d3ffee578a97a1e0633eac
vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call

In this case its blkdev_put itself that is the issue and this
patch uses the same solution of dropping and retaking s_umount.
