[PATCH 1/3] Btrfs: pass lockdep rwsem metadata to async commit transaction

From: Sage Weil <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-30 22:26:22
Subsystem: btrfs file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Chris Mason, David Sterba, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

The freeze rwsem is taken by sb_start_intwrite() and dropped during the
commit_ or end_transaction().  In the async case, that happens in a worker
thread.  Tell lockdep the calling thread is releasing ownership of the
rwsem and the async thread is picking it up.

XFS plays the same trick in fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c.
