Subject: NFSD: fix wrong mnt_writer count in rename
From: Erez Zadok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
NFSD forgets to call mnt_drop_write after a successful rename. Here's a
fix. (Ah, the curse of a stackable file system developer: you have to
debug everyone else's too. :-)
One thing I wasn't sure is whether I could move the mnt_drop_write line a
little above, just after the call to vfs_rename. If we can drop the ref
earlier, it could improve scalability/performance just a bit, no? (i.e.,
what are the ramifications of holding on to this mnt writer ref longer than
needed?)
