Message-Id: <1231429591.27353.14.camel@norville.austin.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:46:31 -0600 From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Grissiom <chaos.proton@...il.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel <linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org>, Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...ux.intel.com> Subject: [PATCH] async: Don't call async_synchronize_full_special() while holding sb_lock sync_filesystems() shouldn't be calling async_synchronize_full_special while holding a spinlock. The second while loop in that function is the right place for this anyway.
