From 4f3be1b5a98587b86cae05aa5d129dd0b3fff466 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 02:14:30 +0100 Subject: reiserfs: Relax lock on xattr removing When we remove an xattr, we call lookup_and_delete_xattr() that takes some private xattr inodes mutexes. But we hold the reiserfs lock at this time, which leads to dependency inversions. We can safely call lookup_and_delete_xattr() without the reiserfs lock, where xattr inodes lookups only need the xattr inodes mutexes.
