[PATCH v2 1/4] SUNRPC: release per-net clients lock before callingPipeFS dentries creation

From: Stanislav Kinsbursky
Date: Mon Feb 27 2012 - 10:51:11 EST


Lockdep is sad otherwise, because inode mutex is taken on PipeFS dentry
creation, which can be called on mount notification, where this per-net client
lock is taken on clients list walk.
