fsnotify: take groups mark_lock before mark lock
Race-free addition and removal of a mark to a groups mark list would be easier if we could lock the mark list of group before we lock the specific mark. This patch changes the order used to add/remove marks to/from mark lists from 1. mark->lock 2. group->mark_lock 3. inode->i_lock to 1. group->mark_lock 2. mark->lock 3. inode->i_lock Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo <LinoSanfilippo@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
