[merged] zram-close-race-by-open-overriding.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The patch titled
     Subject: zram: close race by open overriding
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     zram-close-race-by-open-overriding.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: zram: close race by open overriding

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>

ba6b17d68c8e3aa8d ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition")
introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount and reset.  At
that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature so it was okay.

However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
trouble.

	CPU 0

echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
  -> kernfs->s_active(A)
    -> zram:reset_store->bd_mutex(B)

	CPU 1

echo <id> > /sys/class/zram/zram-remove
  ->zram:zram_remove: bd_mutex(B)
  -> sysfs_remove_group
    -> kernfs->s_active(A)

IOW, AB -> BA deadlock

The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.

To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
for zram_remove ayn more.

This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.
