    locks: wake any locks blocked on request before deadlock check · 945ab8f6
    Jeff Layton authored
    Andreas reported that he was seeing the tdbtorture test fail in some
    cases with -EDEADLCK when it wasn't before. Some debugging showed that
    deadlock detection was sometimes discovering the caller's lock request
    itself in a dependency chain.
    
    While we remove the request from the blocked_lock_hash prior to
    reattempting to acquire it, any locks that are blocked on that request
    will still be present in the hash and will still have their fl_blocker
    pointer set to the current request.
    
    This causes posix_locks_deadlock to find a deadlock dependency chain
    when it shouldn't, as a lock request cannot block itself.
    
    We are going to end up waking all of those blocked locks anyway when we
    go to reinsert the request back into the blocked_lock_hash, so just do
    it prior to checking for deadlocks. This ensures that any lock blocked
    on the current request will no longer be part of any blocked request
    chain.
