From 9f70968af3e6e21612e06e153aa71c62dee5a09b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Fasheh Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:36:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: Re-order iput in ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock Do this to avoid a theoretical (I haven't seen this in practice) race where the downconvert thread might drop the dentry lock, allowing a remote unlink to proceed before dropping the inode locks. This could bounce access to the orphan dir between nodes. There doesn't seem to be a need to do the same in ocfs2_dentry_iput() as that's never called for the last ref drop from the downconvert thread.
