Subject: file locking patches

The following changes are available from the locks branch of the git
repository at:

git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git locks

These are just three small file-locking-related patches, mostly cleanup.
All of them have been unchanged in -mm for a while.

--b.

J. Bruce Fields (1):
locks: clarify posix_locks_deadlock

Matthew Wilcox (1):
file locks: Use wait_event_interruptible_timeout()

Vitaliy Gusev (1):
pid-namespaces-vs-locks-interaction

-/* This function tests for deadlock condition before putting a process to
- * sleep. The detection scheme is no longer recursive. Recursive was neat,
- * but dangerous - we risked stack corruption if the lock data was bad, or
- * if the recursion was too deep for any other reason.
+/*
+ * Deadlock detection:
+ *
+ * We attempt to detect deadlocks that are due purely to posix file
+ * locks.
*
- * We rely on the fact that a task can only be on one lock's wait queue
- * at a time. When we find blocked_task on a wait queue we can re-search
- * with blocked_task equal to that queue's owner, until either blocked_task
- * isn't found, or blocked_task is found on a queue owned by my_task.
+ * We assume that a task can be waiting for at most one lock at a time.
+ * So for any acquired lock, the process holding that lock may be
+ * waiting on at most one other lock. That lock in turns may be held by
+ * someone waiting for at most one other lock. Given a requested lock
+ * caller_fl which is about to wait for a conflicting lock block_fl, we
+ * follow this chain of waiters to ensure we are not about to create a
+ * cycle.
*
- * Note: the above assumption may not be true when handling lock requests
- * from a broken NFS client. But broken NFS clients have a lot more to
- * worry about than proper deadlock detection anyway... --okir
+ * Since we do this before we ever put a process to sleep on a lock, we
+ * are ensured that there is never a cycle; that is what guarantees that
+ * the while() loop in posix_locks_deadlock() eventually completes.
*
- * However, the failure of this assumption (also possible in the case of
- * multiple tasks sharing the same open file table) also means there's no
- * guarantee that the loop below will terminate. As a hack, we give up
- * after a few iterations.
+ * Note: the above assumption may not be true when handling lock
+ * requests from a broken NFS client. It may also fail in the presence
+ * of tasks (such as posix threads) sharing the same open file table.
+ *
+ * To handle those cases, we just bail out after a few iterations.
