Subject[PATCH 132/145] CIFS: Fix a deadlock when a file is reopened
Date
3.8.13.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pavel Shilovsky <pshilovsky@samba.org>

commit 689c3db4d57a73bee6c5ad7797fce7b54d32a87c upstream.

If we request reading or writing on a file that needs to be
reopened, it causes the deadlock: we are already holding rw
semaphore for reading and then we try to acquire it for writing
in cifs_relock_file. Fix this by acquiring the semaphore for
reading in cifs_relock_file due to we don't make any changes in
locks and don't need a write access.
