4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 48b3b9d401ec86899a52003b37331190a35a81a6 upstream. Move scratch super outside of the chunk lock to avoid below lockdep warning. The better place to scratch super is in the function btrfs_rm_dev_replace_free_srcdev() just before free_device, which is outside of the chunk lock as well. To reproduce: (fresh boot) mkfs.btrfs -f -draid5 -mraid5 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde mount /dev/sdc /btrfs dd if=/dev/zero of=/btrfs/tf1 bs=4096 count=100 (get devmgt from https://github.com/asj/devmgt.git) devmgt detach /dev/sde dd if=/dev/zero of=/btrfs/tf1 bs=4096 count=100 sync btrfs replace start -Brf 3 /dev/sdf /btrfs <-- devmgt attach host7 ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 4.6.0-rc2asj+ #1 Not tainted --------------------------------------------------- btrfs/2174 is trying to acquire lock: (sb_writers){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff812449b4>] __sb_start_write+0xb4/0xf0 but task is already holding lock: (&fs_info->chunk_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa05c5f55>] btrfs_dev_replace_finishing+0x145/0x980 [btrfs] which lock already depends on the new lock.
