From 3f259d092c7a2fdf217823e8f1838530adb0cdb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:15:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: fix dependency inversion between inode and reiserfs mutexes The reiserfs mutex already depends on the inode mutex, so we can't lock the inode mutex in reiserfs_unpack() without using the safe locking API, because reiserfs_unpack() is always called with the reiserfs mutex locked.
