[PATCH] Btrfs: remove mnt_want_write call in btrfs_mksubvol
We got a recursive lock in mksubvol because the caller already held a lock. I think we got into this due to a merge error. Commit a874a63 removed the mnt_want_write call from btrfs_mksubvol and added a replacement call to mnt_want_write_file in btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_transid. Commit e7848683 however tried to move all calls to mnt_want_write above i_mutex. So somewhere while merging this, it got mixed up. The solution is to remove the mnt_want_write call completely from mksubvol.

Lio Bo moved the call out of btrfs_mksubvol into the caller. Later a commit from Jan Kara tried to move the call inside mksubvol below i_mutex. If I understand the logs correctly, It was then merged incorrectly.> Thanks, > > Josef-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The patch has to be pulled via a separate branch, based on top of linus/master, as cmason/for-linus does not have the clashing freezer patches. And I do want to see the fix in master rather soon as it makes testing tedious. david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I thought I had this fixed in my original merge, but either way I''ll send a pull to fix it. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
