Subject: [PATCH 3.12 034/181] ocfs2: avoid blocking in ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing() in downconvert thread
From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 84d86f83f9d0e8431a3c9eae4c47e9d7ff49a411 upstream.
If we are dropping last inode reference from downconvert thread, we will
end up calling ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing() which can block if the lock
we are freeing is queued thus creating an A-A deadlock. Luckily, since
we are the downconvert thread, we can immediately dequeue the lock and
thus avoid waiting in this case.
