4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2a708cff93f1845b9239bc7d6310aef54e716c6a upstream. __dm_destroy() takes io_barrier SRCU lock (dm_get_live_table) and suspend_lock in reverse order. Doing so can cause AB-BA deadlock: __dm_destroy dm_swap_table --------------------------------------------------- mutex_lock(suspend_lock) dm_get_live_table() srcu_read_lock(io_barrier) dm_sync_table() synchronize_srcu(io_barrier) .. waiting for dm_put_live_table() mutex_lock(suspend_lock) .. waiting for suspend_lock Fix this by taking the locks in proper order.
