reiserfs: fix deadlocks with quotas
The BKL push-down for reiserfs made lock recursion a special case that needs to be handled explicitly. One of the cases that was unhandled is dropping the quota during inode eviction. Both reiserfs_evict_inode and reiserfs_write_dquot take the write lock, but when the journal lock is taken it only drops one the references. The locking rules are that the journal lock be acquired before the write lock so leaving the reference open leads to a ABBA deadlock. This patch pushes the unlock up before clear_inode and avoids the recursive locking. Another ABBA situation can occur when the write lock is dropped while reading the bitmap buffer while in the quota code. When the lock is reacquired, it will deadlock against dquot->dq_lock and dqopt->dqio_mutex in the dquot_acquire path. It's safe to retain the lock across the read and should be cached under write load. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
