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.
