Subject: [ 34/54] jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in gc path
Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 14:16:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120518211602.541111605@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120518212656.GA4992@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Cartwright <joshc@linux.com>

commit 226bb7df3d22bcf4a1c0fe8206c80cc427498eae upstream.

The locking policy is such that the erase_complete_block spinlock is
nested within the alloc_sem mutex.  This fixes a case in which the
acquisition order was erroneously reversed.  This issue was caught by
the following lockdep splat:

   =======================================================
   [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
   3.0.5 #1
   -------------------------------------------------------
   jffs2_gcd_mtd6/299 is trying to acquire lock:
    (&c->alloc_sem){+.+.+.}, at: [<c01f7714>] jffs2_garbage_collect_pass+0x314/0x890

   but task is already holding lock:
    (&(&c->erase_completion_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<c01f7708>] jffs2_garbage_collect_pass+0x308/0x890

   which lock already depends on the new lock.

   the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

   -> #1 (&(&c->erase_completion_lock)->rlock){+.+...}:
          [<c008bec4>] validate_chain+0xe6c/0x10bc
          [<c008c660>] __lock_acquire+0x54c/0xba4

          [<c000f264>] kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8

   -> #0 (&c->alloc_sem){+.+.+.}:
          [<c008ad2c>] print_circular_bug+0x70/0x2c4
          [<c008c08c>] validate_chain+0x1034/0x10bc
          [<c008c660>] __lock_acquire+0x54c/0xba4
          [<c008d240>] lock_acquire+0xa4/0x114

          [<c000f264>] kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8

   other info that might help us debug this:

    Possible unsafe locking scenario:

                                  lock(&(&c->erase_completion_lock)->rlock);
     lock(&c->alloc_sem);

    *** DEADLOCK ***
