From 24b977b5fdea09bf356428870d32c09a275c8a3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Whitehouse Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 13:55:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: Fix locking bug in rename The rename code was taking a resource group lock in cases where it wasn't actually needed, this caused problems if the rename was resulting in an inode being unlinked. The patch ensures that we only take the rgrp lock early if it is really needed.
