From: Joe Korty <joe.korty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c7de87ff9dac5f396f62d584f3908f80ddc0e07b upstream. [ This problem is in mainline, but only rt has the chops to be able to detect it. ] Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between serv->sv_lock and softirq_ctl.lock on system shutdown, when using a kernel built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, and a nfs mount exists. This is due to the definition of spin_lock_bh on rt: local_bh_disable(); rt_spin_lock(lock); which forces a softirq_ctl.lock -> serv->sv_lock dependency. This is not a problem as long as _every_ lock of serv->sv_lock is a: spin_lock_bh(&serv->sv_lock); but there is one of the form: spin_lock(&serv->sv_lock); This is what is causing the circular dependency splat. The spin_lock() grabs the lock without first grabbing softirq_ctl.lock via local_bh_disable. If later on in the critical region, someone does a local_bh_disable, we get a serv->sv_lock -> softirq_ctrl.lock dependency established. Deadlock. Fix is to make serv->sv_lock be locked with spin_lock_bh everywhere, no exceptions. [ OK ] Stopped target NFS client services. Stopping Logout off all iSCSI sessions on shutdown... Stopping NFS server and services...
