    fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock · 250df6ed
    Dave Chinner 提交于
    Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
    inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
    independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
    away the inode_lock from the code.
    
    This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
    during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
    marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
    reference.
    
    Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
    required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
    Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
    state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
    remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
    necessary.
