From 91196c20a37bb5990e4358ff97dbeb2bd3007154 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jinshan Xiong Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:18:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: llite: avoid a deadlock in page write For a partial page write, it will have to issue a READ RPC firstly to get a full uptodate page. If another page is already locked by this thread it can easily cause deadlock.
