Dave Chinner ef215e394e xfs: setup VFS i_rwsem lockdep state correctly
When lockdep is enabled, it changes the type of the inode i_rwsem
semaphore before unlocking a newly instantiated inode. THere is the
possibility that there is already a waiter on that inode lock by the
time we unlock the new inode, so having lockdep re-initialise the
lock is a vector for trouble.

Avoid this whole situation by setting up the i_rwsem lockdep class
at the same time we set up the XFS inode i_ilock classes and so the
VFS doesn't have to change the lock class itself when it is
potentially unsafe.

This change is necessary because the equivalent fixes to the VFS code
made in commit 1e2e547a93 ("do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode
combinations safely") are not relevant to XFS as it has it's own
internal inode cache lookup and instantiation routines.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
