prune back iprune_sem
iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under it taken in write mode. Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially: - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all. We have an active reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it has finished. - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's work before we tear down the superblock. But there is no reason to hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending prune_icache to complete. We just have to remove the WARN_ON for otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
