Subject: [ 34/48] loopdev: fix a deadlock
Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:08:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130318210812.653678837@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130318210810.247845918@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Guo Chao <yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 5370019dc2d2c2ff90e95d181468071362934f3a upstream.
bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order.
Path #1:
blkdev_open
blkdev_get
__blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex)
lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
Path #2:
blkdev_ioctl
lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex)
Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of
lo_ctl_mutex. This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake. The
patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit
f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123806169129727&w=2
Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it
with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.
