From c18ceab01240fd4c354b78d877571b729908e4a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wengang Wang Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:46:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: change ip_unaligned_aio to of type mutex from atomit_t There is a problem that waitqueue_active() may check stale data thus miss a wakeup of threads waiting on ip_unaligned_aio. The valid value of ip_unaligned_aio is only 0 and 1 so we can change it to be of type mutex thus the above prolem is avoid. Another benifit is that mutex which works as FIFO is fairer than wake_up_all().
