> In FSNamesystem.getBlockLocationsUpdateTimes function, we have the following code:
> {code}
>     for (int attempt = 0; attempt < 2; attempt++) {
>       if (attempt == 0) { // first attempt is with readlock
>         readLock();
>       }  else { // second attempt is with  write lock
>         writeLock(); // writelock is needed to set accesstime
>       }
>       ...
>       if (attempt == 0) {
>          continue;
>       }
> {code}
> In the above code, readLock is acquired in attempt 0 and if the execution enters in the continue block, then it tries to acquire writeLock before releasing the readLock.
