From 02afc410f363f98ac4f186341e38dcec13fc0e60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 22:23:38 +1100 Subject: fs: Lock the inode LRU list separately Introduce the inode_lru_lock to protect the inode_lru list. This lock is nested inside the inode->i_lock to allow the inode to be added to the LRU list in iput_final without needing to deal with lock inversions. This keeps iput_final() clean and neat. Further, where marking the inode I_FREEING and removing it from the LRU, move the LRU list manipulation within the inode->i_lock to keep the list manipulation consistent with iput_final. This also means that most of the open coded LRU list removal + unused inode accounting can now use the inode_lru_list_del() wrappers which cleans the code up further. However, this locking change means what the LRU traversal in prune_icache() inverts this lock ordering and needs to use trylock semantics on the inode->i_lock to avoid deadlocking. In these cases, if we fail to lock the inode we move it to the back of the LRU to prevent spinning on it.
