Workarea: jen.americas.sgi.com:/src/lord/xfs-linux.2.4
The following file(s) were checked into:
bonnie.engr.sgi.com:/isms/slinx/2.4.x-xfs
Modid: 2.4.x-xfs:slinx:100765a
linux/fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.c - 1.508
- Remove ABBA deadlock between ilock and ihash lock, the ihash lock in
xfs_finish_reclaim is a hang over from an earlier implementation on
Linux, we do not need it anymore, and at some point this deadlock
got introduced.
