[merged] proc-vmcore-fix-possible-deadlock-on-concurrent-mmap-and-read.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: proc/vmcore: fix possible deadlock on concurrent mmap and read
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     proc-vmcore-fix-possible-deadlock-on-concurrent-mmap-and-read.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: proc/vmcore: fix possible deadlock on concurrent mmap and read

Lockdep noticed that there is chance for a deadlock if we have concurrent
mmap, concurrent read, and the addition/removal of a callback.

As nicely explained by Boqun:

"
Lockdep warned about the above sequences because rw_semaphore is a fair
read-write lock, and the following can cause a deadlock:

	TASK 1			TASK 2		TASK 3
	======			======		======
	down_write(mmap_lock);
				down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem)
						down_write(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // blocked
	down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // cannot get the lock because of the fairness
				down_read(mmap_lock); // blocked

IOW, a reader can block another read if there is a writer queued by the
second reader and the lock is fair.
"

To fix, convert to srcu to make this deadlock impossible. We need srcu as
our callbacks can sleep. With this change, I cannot trigger any lockdep
warnings.
