Hi Casey,
I've got another deadlock which only happens when CONFIG_SMACK is
enabled, but this time it happens with unionfs and I don't know
which of the two is causing the problem.
I need a little education. unionfs has a lock on its superblock,
which appears to be where we're getting hung up. What condition
is this lock for? It would seem that a getxattr would be pretty
safe without having the superblock locked, but no one is going
to accuse me of being excessively skilled at locking issues.
I'm going to see what goes wrong without that lock, and if removing
it takes care of the problem. There may be more than one dragon
in these waters.
Thank you.
