Subject[PATCH 3.4 18/39] include/linux/fs.h: disable preempt when acquire i_size_seqcount write lock
Date
3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Fan Du <fan.du@windriver.com>

commit 74e3d1e17b2e11d175970b85acd44f5927000ba2 upstream.

Two rt tasks bind to one CPU core.

The higher priority rt task A preempts a lower priority rt task B which
has already taken the write seq lock, and then the higher priority rt
task A try to acquire read seq lock, it's doomed to lockup.

rt task A with lower priority: call write
i_size_write rt task B with higher priority: call sync, and preempt task A
write_seqcount_begin(&inode->i_size_seqcount); i_size_read
inode->i_size = i_size; read_seqcount_begin <-- lockup here...

So disable preempt when acquiring every i_size_seqcount *write* lock will
cure the problem.
