From 6d09bb627d2470299dfb1af0e6d27fb4aece9196 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 02:51:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/namei.c: Call to file_permission() under a spinlock in do_lookup_path() From: Trond Myklebust We're presently running lock_kernel() under fs_lock via nfs's ->permission handler. That's a ranking bug and sometimes a sleep-in-spinlock bug. This problem was introduced in the openat() patchset. We should not need to hold the current->fs->lock for a codepath that doesn't use current->fs.
