From 689c3db4d57a73bee6c5ad7797fce7b54d32a87c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Shilovsky Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:17:45 +0400 Subject: CIFS: Fix a deadlock when a file is reopened If we request reading or writing on a file that needs to be reopened, it causes the deadlock: we are already holding rw semaphore for reading and then we try to acquire it for writing in cifs_relock_file. Fix this by acquiring the semaphore for reading in cifs_relock_file due to we don't make any changes in locks and don't need a write access.
