Jan Kara pointed out that rename() doesn't lock a subdirectory that is being moved from one parent to another, even though the move requires an update to the subdirectory's dotdot entry. This means that it's *not* sufficient to hold a directory's IOLOCK to stabilize the dotdot entry. We must hold the ILOCK of both the child and the alleged parent, and there's no use in holding the parent's IOLOCK. With that in mind, we can get rid of all the messy code that tries to grab the parent's IOLOCK, which means we don't need to let go of the ILOCK of the directory whose parent we are checking. We still have to use nonblocking mode to take the ILOCK of the alleged parent, so the revalidation loop has to stay. However, we can remove the retry counter, since threads aren't supposed to hold the ILOCK for long periods of time. Remove the inverted ilock helper from the common code since nobody uses it. Remove the entire source of -EDEADLOCK-based "retry harder" scrub executions. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20230117123735.un7wbamlbdihninm@quack3/ Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
