Most of the time, we (or the vfs layer) takes the inode_lock and then
acquires caps, but ceph_read_iter does the opposite, and that can lead
to a deadlock.
When there are multiple clients treading over the same data, we can end
up in a situation where a reader takes caps and then tries to acquire
the inode_lock. Another task holds the inode_lock and issues a request
to the MDS which needs to revoke the caps, but that can't happen until
the inode_lock is unwedged.
Fix this by having ceph_read_iter take the inode_lock earlier, before
attempting to acquire caps.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
