Removing the directory entry can + * result in locking an AGF (directory blocks were freed) and removing a link + * count can result in placing the inode on an unlinked list which results in + * locking an AGI. + * + * The big problem here is that we have an ordering constraint on AGF and AGI + * locking - inode allocation locks the AGI, then can allocate a new extent for + * new inodes, locking the AGF after the AGI. Similarly, freeing the inode + * removes the inode from the unlinked list, requiring that we lock the AGI + * first, and then freeing the inode can result in an inode chunk being freed + * and hence freeing disk space requiring that we lock an AGF. + * + * Hence the ordering that is imposed by other parts of the code is AGI before + * AGF. This means we cannot remove the directory entry before we drop the inode + * reference count and put it on the unlinked list as this results in a lock + * order of AGF then AGI, and this can deadlock against inode allocation and + * freeing. Therefore we must drop the link counts before we remove the + * directory entry. + * + * This is still safe from a transactional point of view - it is not until we + * get to xfs_bmap_finish() that we have the possibility of multiple + * transactions in this operation.
