Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: Fix inode mutex - reiserfs lock misordering
Date: Tue,  9 Nov 2010 23:35:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289342127-11410-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)

reiserfs_unpack() locks the inode mutex with
reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() to protect against reiserfs lock
dependency. However this protection requires to have the
reiserfs lock to be locked.

This is the case if reiserfs_unpack() is called by reiserfs_ioctl
but not from reiserfs_quota_on() when it tries to unpack tails of
quota files.

Fix the ordering of the two locks in reiserfs_unpack() to
fix this issue.
