ocfs2: implement delayed dropping of last dquot reference
We cannot drop last dquot reference from downconvert thread as that creates the following deadlock: NODE 1 NODE2 holds dentry lock for 'foo' holds inode lock for GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE dquot_initialize(bar) ocfs2_dquot_acquire() ocfs2_inode_lock(USER_QUOTA_SYSTEM_INODE) ... downconvert thread (triggered from another node or a different process from NODE2) ocfs2_dentry_post_unlock() ... iput(foo) ocfs2_evict_inode(foo) ocfs2_clear_inode(foo) dquot_drop(inode) ... ocfs2_dquot_release() ocfs2_inode_lock(USER_QUOTA_SYSTEM_INODE) - blocks finds we need more space in quota file ... ocfs2_extend_no_holes() ocfs2_inode_lock(GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE) - deadlocks waiting for downconvert thread We solve the problem by postponing dropping of the last dquot reference to a workqueue if it happens from the downconvert thread.
