[PATCH v1 1/1] aoe: avoid potential deadlock at set_capacity

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Move set_capacity() outside of the section procected by (&d->lock).
To avoid possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
[1] lock(&bdev->bd_size_lock);
                                local_irq_disable();
                            [2] lock(&d->lock);
                            [3] lock(&bdev->bd_size_lock);
   <Interrupt>
[4]  lock(&d->lock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

Where [1](&bdev->bd_size_lock) hold by zram_add()->set_capacity().
[2]lock(&d->lock) hold by aoeblk_gdalloc(). And aoeblk_gdalloc()
is trying to acquire [3](&bdev->bd_size_lock) at set_capacity() call.
In this situation an attempt to acquire [4]lock(&d->lock) from
aoecmd_cfg_rsp() will lead to deadlock.

So the simplest solution is breaking lock dependency
[2](&d->lock) -> [3](&bdev->bd_size_lock) by moving set_capacity()
outside.
