struct ceph_mds_request has an r_locked_dir pointer, which is set to indicate the parent inode and that its i_rwsem is locked. In some critical places, we need to be able to indicate the parent inode to the request handling code, even when its i_rwsem may not be locked. Most of the code that operates on r_locked_dir doesn't require that the i_rwsem be locked. We only really need it to handle manipulation of the dcache. The rest (filling of the inode, updating dentry leases, etc.) already has its own locking. Add a new r_req_flags bit that indicates whether the parent is locked when doing the request, and rename the pointer to "r_parent". For now, all the places that set r_parent also set this flag, but that will change in a later patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
