Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-4196:
--------------------------------------

The updated patch looks pretty good to me, except that I think we can remove 
the synchronization from SnapshotManager#createSnapshot as well, and remove the 
FSDir locking from FSNS#createSnapshot. This also implies that we should 
probably move the comment you put in SnapshotManager#renameSnapshot up to the 
class comment of SnapshotManager. I realize that that's unrelated to this 
particular change, but we might as well make it here I think.

In general I think the locking structure for snapshot operations should be:

# Lock the FSNS lock in FSNS before calling into SnapshotManager methods.
# Rely on the FSDir's internal locking for actual INode* modifications made by 
SnapshotManager.

How does this sound?
