Subject: [PATCH] iomap: fix lockdep complaint when reads fail
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:00:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323210017.GL6223@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323152231.GG6223@frogsfrogsfrogs>
From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>
Zorro Lang reported the following lockdep splat:
"While running fstests xfs/556 on kernel 7.0.0-rc4+ (HEAD=04a9f1766954),
a lockdep warning was triggered indicating an inconsistent lock state
for sb->s_type->i_lock_key.
"The deadlock might occur because iomap_read_end_io (called from a
hardware interrupt completion path) invokes fserror_report, which then
calls igrab. igrab attempts to acquire the i_lock spinlock. However,
the i_lock is frequently acquired in process context with interrupts
enabled. If an interrupt occurs while a process holds the i_lock, and
that interrupt handler calls fserror_report, the system deadlocks.
"I hit this warning several times by running xfs/556 (mostly) or
generic/648 on xfs. More details refer to below console log."
along with this dmesg, for which I've cleaned up the stacktraces:

Zorro's diagnosis makes sense, so the solution is to kick the failed
read handling to a workqueue much like we added for writeback ioends in
commit 294f54f849d846 ("fserror: fix lockdep complaint when igrabbing
inode").
