The reiserfs write lock replaced the BKL and uses similar semantics. Frederic's locking code makes a distinction between when the lock is nested and when it's being acquired/released, but I don't think that's the right distinction to make. The right distinction is between the lock being released at end-of-use and the lock being released for a schedule. The unlock should return the depth and the lock should restore it, rather than the other way around as it is now. This patch implements that and adds a number of places where the lock should be dropped. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

/*
|
|
* The previous reiserfs locking scheme was heavily based on
|
|
* the tricky properties of the Bkl:
|
|
*
|
|
* - it was acquired recursively by a same task
|
|
* - the performances relied on the release-while-schedule() property
|
|
*
|
|
* Now that we replace it by a mutex, we still want to keep the same
|
|
* recursive property to avoid big changes in the code structure.
|
|
* We use our own lock_owner here because the owner field on a mutex
|
|
* is only available in SMP or mutex debugging, also we only need this field
|
|
* for this mutex, no need for a system wide mutex facility.
|
|
*
|
|
* Also this lock is often released before a call that could block because
|
|
* reiserfs performances were partially based on the release while schedule()
|
|
* property of the Bkl.
