Subject: [patch 0/6] fix i_mutex locking in splice to file
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:48:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090414174835.487031939@szeredi.hu> (raw)
Jens, Mark,
This series deals with the problem of generic_file_splice_write() and
ocfs2_file_splice_write() holding i_mutex (and ocfs2 lock) on
destination inode across pipe_wait(), which waits for a user
controlled event.
Lightly tested on ext3. The OCFS2 changes have only been compile
tested.
Please review/test.
Thanks,
Miklos
