From dd802406e396c22dfb5aa0d16196f04d515be49e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 19:32:36 -0800 Subject: f2fs: avoid double lock for cp_rwsem The __f2fs_add_link is covered by cp_rwsem all the time. This calls init_inode_metadata, which conducts some acl operations including memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL previously. But, under memory pressure, f2fs_write_data_page can be called, which also grabs cp_rwsem too. In this case, this incurs a deadlock pointed by Chao. Thread #1 Thread #2 down_read down_write down_read -> here down_read should wait forever.
