From b9251b823b5e921c894eb135cb6c64abf483f50e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 02:36:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix reiserfs deadlock reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found the acl or not. We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl() returns error code and not just 0. Otherwise callers such as reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock and try to take it again with obvious consequences.
