This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm: don't lock fs when the map is NULL during suspend or resume to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dm-don-t-lock-fs-when-the-map-is-null-during-suspend.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d095b9b6985baeff4e10308896522af93b8f8eb4 Author: Li Lingfeng <lilingfeng3@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 1 14:14:23 2023 +0800 dm: don't lock fs when the map is NULL during suspend or resume [ Upstream commit 2760904d895279f87196f0fa9ec570c79fe6a2e4 ] As described in commit 38d11da522aa ("dm: don't lock fs when the map is NULL in process of resume"), a deadlock may be triggered between do_resume() and do_mount(). This commit preserves the fix from commit 38d11da522aa but moves it to where it also serves to fix a similar deadlock between do_suspend() and do_mount(). It does so, if the active map is NULL, by clearing DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG in dm_suspend() which is called by both do_suspend() and do_resume().
