CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&new->fa_lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&ctx->completion_lock); lock(&new->fa_lock); <Interrupt> lock(&ctx->completion_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** Move kill_fasync() out of io_commit_cqring() to io_cqring_ev_posted(), so it doesn't hold completion_lock while doing it. That saves from the reported deadlock, and it's just nice to shorten the locking time and untangle nested locks (compl_lock -> wq_head::lock).
