Hi all,
Obviously nobody still uses reiserfs; or at least not with
PREEMPT_BKL=n.
We seem to have grown all kinds of scheduling assumptions all over that
code. A excerpt from my bootlog when I tried:

=======================
And the sole reason I tried that was because I managed to get >1 second
(yes _second_) latencies due to BKL priority inversion.
Since this is not really a workable situation I propose we do something
about it, below my attempt. However, since I know absolutely nothing
about reiserfs, it might well be very wrong and will eat all your data
(babies and favourite pets too while we're at it).
---
Replace all the lock_kernel() instances with reiserfs_write_lock(sb),
and make that use an actual per super-block mutex instead of
lock_kernel().
This should make reiserfs safe from PREEMPT_BKL=n, since it seems to
rely on being able to schedule. Also, it removes the dependency on the
BKL, and thereby is not prone to cause prio inversion with remaining BKL
users (notably tty).
Compile tested only, since I didn't dare boot it.
