From e9fbcb42201c862fd6ab45c48ead4f47bb2dea9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:57:13 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: call the ordered free operation without any locks held Each ordered operation has a free callback, and this was called with the worker spinlock held. Josef made the free callback also call iput, which we can't do with the spinlock. This drops the spinlock for the free operation and grabs it again before moving through the rest of the list. We'll circle back around to this and find a cleaner way that doesn't bounce the lock around so much.
