4.14: ext4 circular locking dependency complaint

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

 



Hello,

While testing kernel v4.14-rc7 I encountered the lockedp complaint shown
below. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Bart.

kworker/16:0/20194 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14){+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812556a9>] __generic_file_fsync+0x49/0xc0

but task is already holding lock:
 ((&dio->complete_work)){+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81083b85>] process_one_work+0x195/0x660

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14 --> "dio/%s"sb->s_id --> (&dio->complete_work)

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock((&dio->complete_work));
                               lock("dio/%s"sb->s_id);
                               lock((&dio->complete_work));
  lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14);
