If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sage Weil (cherry picked from commit 8636ea672f0c5ab7478c42c5b6705ebd1db7eb6a) The ceph_fault() function takes the con mutex, so we should avoid dropping it before calling it. This fixes a potential race with another thread calling ceph_con_close(), or _open(), or similar (we don't reverify con->state after retaking the lock). Add annotation so that lockdep realizes we will drop the mutex before returning.
