From 43b10a20372d9a1c08391f33f1c8bd86179ddc5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jiangyiwen Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:47:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: avoid system inode ref confusion by adding mutex lock The following case may lead to the same system inode ref in confusion. A thread B thread ocfs2_get_system_file_inode ->get_local_system_inode ->_ocfs2_get_system_file_inode because of *arr == NULL, ocfs2_get_system_file_inode ->get_local_system_inode ->_ocfs2_get_system_file_inode gets first ref thru _ocfs2_get_system_file_inode, gets second ref thru igrab and set *arr = inode at the moment, B thread also gets two refs, so lead to one more inode ref. So add mutex lock to avoid multi thread set two inode ref once at the same time.
