From 027d6404eb4327878454db72a006adfcb8001bb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryusuke Konishi Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2009 22:45:33 +0900 Subject: nilfs2: use semaphore to protect pointer to a writable FS-instance will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to retain a writable FS-instance for a period. The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a mutex, but they became overkill since the commit 201913ed746c7724a40d33ee5a0b6a1fd2ef3193. Furthermore, they caused the following lockdep warning because the mutex can be released by a task which didn't lock it: ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] ------------------------------------- kswapd0/422 is trying to release lock (&nilfs->ns_writer_mutex) at: [] mutex_unlock+0x8/0xa but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: no locks held by kswapd0/422. stack backtrace: Pid: 422, comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 2.6.31-rc4-nilfs #51 Call Trace: [] ? printk+0xf/0x18 [] print_unlock_inbalance_bug+0xcc/0xd7 [] ? prop_put_global+0x3/0x35 [] lock_release+0xed/0x1dc [] ? mutex_unlock+0x8/0xa [] __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0xaf/0x119 [] mutex_unlock+0x8/0xa [] nilfs_mdt_write_page+0xd8/0xe1 [nilfs2] [] shrink_page_list+0x379/0x68d [] ? isolate_pages_global+0xb4/0x18c [] shrink_list+0x26b/0x54b [] shrink_zone+0x20c/0x2a2 [] kswapd+0x407/0x591 [] ? isolate_pages_global+0x0/0x18c [] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 [] ? kswapd+0x0/0x591 [] kthread+0x69/0x6e [] ? kthread+0x0/0x6e [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x1a This patch uses a reader/writer semaphore instead of the own lock and kills this warning.
