v6:
- Add a second patch to rename the bd_fsfreeze_mutex to
bd_fsfreeze_blktrace_mutex.
v5:
- Overload the bd_fsfreeze_mutex in block_device structure for
blktrace protection.
v4:
- Use blktrace_mutex in blk_trace_ioctl() as well.
v3:
- Use a global blktrace_mutex to serialize sysfs attribute accesses
instead of the bd_mutex.
v2:
- Use READ_ONCE() and smp_store_mb() to read and write bd_deleting.
- Check for signal in the mutex_trylock loops.
- Use usleep() instead of schedule() for RT tasks.
This patchset fixes a potential blktrace deadlock problem between
block device deletion and sysfs operations.
