NFS: Fix a hang in the writeback path Now that the inode scalability patches have been merged, it is no longer safe to call igrab() under the inode->i_lock. Now that we no longer call nfs_clear_request() until the nfs_page is being freed, we know that we are always holding a reference to the nfs_open_context, which again holds a reference to the path, and so the inode cannot be freed until the last nfs_page has been removed from the radix tree and freed. We can therefore skip the igrab()/iput() altogether. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
