From: Nick Piggin Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:57:50 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm: tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc8~39 X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db203d53d474aa068984e409d807628f5841da1b;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git mm: tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex tiny-shmem calls do_truncate in shmem_file_setup. do_truncate takes i_mutex, and shmem_file_setup is called with mmap_sem held. However i_mutex nests outside mmap_sem. Copy the code in shmem.c to avoid this problem.
