If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joseph Qi commit cd789996db3c87427343f54f509d17810bd7ba7c upstream. o2hb_heartbeat_group_drop_item() is called from configfs rmdir with the parent directory's inode_lock held. It calls o2hb_region_pin() -> o2nm_depend_item() -> configfs_depend_item(), which acquires the configfs root inode_lock. This creates a parent -> root inode_lock nesting that could deadlock against paths taking root -> parent (e.g. subsystem unregistration). Fix this by using configfs_depend_item_unlocked() when o2hb_region_pin() is called from a configfs callback context. This variant skips the root inode_lock when caller and target are in the same subsystem, which is safe because VFS already holds a lock preventing unregistration. Add o2nm_depend_item_unlocked() wrapper and a from_callback parameter to o2hb_region_pin() to select the appropriate variant.
