Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ubifs: Remove ui_mutex in ubifs_xattr_get and change_xattr
Date: Mon, 31 May 2021 20:52:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210531125210.1173922-3-chengzhihao1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210531125210.1173922-1-chengzhihao1@huawei.com>

Since ubifs_xattr_get and ubifs_xattr_set cannot being executed
parallelly after importing @host_ui->xattr_sem, now we can remove
ui_mutex imported by commit ab92a20bce3b4c2 ("ubifs: make
ubifs_[get|set]xattr atomic").

@xattr_size, @xattr_names and @xattr_cnt can't be out of protection
by @host_ui->mutex yet, they are sill accesed in other places, such as
pack_inode() called by ubifs_write_inode() triggered by page-writeback.
