From f3ce8064b388ccf420012c5a4907aae4f13fe9d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:58:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT: Check for different original and donor inodes first Move the check to make sure the original and donor inodes are different earlier, to avoid a potential deadlock by trying to lock the same inode twice.
