From 0d88f6e804c824454b5ed0d3034ed3dcf7467a87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:18:08 +1000 Subject: nfs: don't call __mark_inode_dirty while holding i_lock nfs_scan_commit() is called with the inode->i_lock held, but it then calls __mark_inode_dirty() while still holding the lock. This causes a deadlock. Push the inode->i_lock into nfs_scan_commit() so it can protect only the parts of the code it needs to and can be dropped before the call to __mark_inode_dirty() to avoid the deadlock.
