From 61e0d47c33cc371f725bcda4a47ae0efe652dba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:48:41 +0200 Subject: splice: add helpers for locking pipe inode There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code: if (pipe->inode) mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); /* do something */ if (pipe->inode) mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking. Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code. This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes.
