locks: perform inode_ref of pl_update_refkeeper outside locked region
Performing inode_ref inside the critical section of pl_update_refkeeper (around pl_inode_t->mutex) causes a deadlock with inode_table_t->lock. The other thread (process state dump) holds the inode_table_t->lock first to loop over inodes and then while dumping an inode's lock context, tries to acquire pl_inode_t->mutex thereby completing the deadlock. The fix is to perform inode_ref outside the critical section in pl_update_refkeeper Change-Id: I689ab4a9b46b36287740279fdec6159182c86119 BUG: 3753 Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.com/629 Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Vijay Bellur <vijay@gluster.com>
