From 278f6679f454bf185a07d9a4ca355b153482d17a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2013 17:34:46 -0400 Subject: reiserfs: locking, handle nested locks properly The reiserfs write lock replaced the BKL and uses similar semantics. Frederic's locking code makes a distinction between when the lock is nested and when it's being acquired/released, but I don't think that's the right distinction to make. The right distinction is between the lock being released at end-of-use and the lock being released for a schedule. The unlock should return the depth and the lock should restore it, rather than the other way around as it is now. This patch implements that and adds a number of places where the lock should be dropped.
