Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/hmm: potential deadlock in nonblocking code
Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 21:24:21 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190204182304.GA8756@kadam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190204132043.GA16485@kadam>
There is a deadlock bug when these functions are used in nonblocking
mode.
The else side of the if/else statement is only meant to be taken in when
the code is used in blocking mode. But, unfortunately, the way the
code is now, if we're in non-blocking mode and we succeed in taking the
lock then we do the else statement. The else side tries to take lock a
second time which results in a deadlock.
Fixes: a3402cb621c1 ("mm/hmm: improve driver API to work and wait over a range")
