    ceph: take the inode lock before acquiring cap refs · a81bc310
    Jeff Layton authored
    Most of the time, we (or the vfs layer) takes the inode_lock and then
    acquires caps, but ceph_read_iter does the opposite, and that can lead
    to a deadlock.
    
    When there are multiple clients treading over the same data, we can end
    up in a situation where a reader takes caps and then tries to acquire
    the inode_lock. Another task holds the inode_lock and issues a request
    to the MDS which needs to revoke the caps, but that can't happen until
    the inode_lock is unwedged.
    
    Fix this by having ceph_read_iter take the inode_lock earlier, before
    attempting to acquire caps.
