[PATCH 12/27] afs: Don't use mutex for I/O operation lock

Thu Oct 24 07:05:10 PDT 2024


Don't use the standard mutex for the I/O operation lock, but rather
implement our own as the standard mutex must be released in the same thread
as locked it.  This is a problem when it comes to doing async FetchData
where the lock will be dropped from the workqueue that processed the
incoming data and not from the issuing thread.
