3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mike Galbraith <efault@xxxxxx> commit 420902c9d086848a7548c83e0a49021514bd71b7 upstream. If we hold the superblock lock while calling reiserfs_quota_on_mount(), we can deadlock our own worker - mount blocks kworker/3:2, sleeps forever more. crash> ps|grep UN 715 2 3 ffff880220734d30 UN 0.0 0 0 [kworker/3:2] 9369 9341 2 ffff88021ffb7560 UN 1.3 493404 123184 Xorg 9665 9664 3 ffff880225b92ab0 UN 0.0 47368 812 udisks-daemon 10635 10403 3 ffff880222f22c70 UN 0.0 14904 936 mount crash> bt ffff880220734d30 PID: 715 TASK: ffff880220734d30 CPU: 3 COMMAND: "kworker/3:2" #0 [ffff8802244c3c20] schedule at ffffffff8144584b #1 [ffff8802244c3cc8] __rt_mutex_slowlock at ffffffff814472b3 #2 [ffff8802244c3d28] rt_mutex_slowlock at ffffffff814473f5 #3 [ffff8802244c3dc8] reiserfs_write_lock at ffffffffa05f28fd [reiserfs] #4 [ffff8802244c3de8] flush_async_commits at ffffffffa05ec91d [reiserfs] #5 [ffff8802244c3e08] process_one_work at ffffffff81073726 #6 [ffff8802244c3e68] worker_thread at ffffffff81073eba #7 [ffff8802244c3ec8] kthread at ffffffff810782e0 #8 [ffff8802244c3f48] kernel_thread_helper at ffffffff81450064 crash> rd ffff8802244c3cc8 10 ffff8802244c3cc8: ffffffff814472b3 ffff880222f23250 .rD.....P2.".... ffff8802244c3cd8: 0000000000000000 0000000000000286 ................ ffff8802244c3ce8: ffff8802244c3d30 ffff880220734d80 0=L$.....Ms .... ffff8802244c3cf8: ffff880222e8f628 0000000000000000 (.."............ ffff8802244c3d08: 0000000000000000 0000000000000002 ................ crash> struct rt_mutex ffff880222e8f628 struct rt_mutex { wait_lock = { raw_lock = { slock = 65537 } }, wait_list = { node_list = { next = 0xffff8802244c3d48, prev = 0xffff8802244c3d48 } }, owner = 0xffff880222f22c71, save_state = 0 } crash> bt 0xffff880222f22c70 PID: 10635 TASK: ffff880222f22c70 CPU: 3 COMMAND: "mount" #0 [ffff8802216a9868] schedule at ffffffff8144584b #1 [ffff8802216a9910] schedule_timeout at ffffffff81446865 #2 [ffff8802216a99a0] wait_for_common at ffffffff81445f74 #3 [ffff8802216a9a30] flush_work at ffffffff810712d3 #4 [ffff8802216a9ab0] schedule_on_each_cpu at ffffffff81074463 #5 [ffff8802216a9ae0] invalidate_bdev at ffffffff81178aba #6 [ffff8802216a9af0] vfs_load_quota_inode at ffffffff811a3632 #7 [ffff8802216a9b50] dquot_quota_on_mount at ffffffff811a375c #8 [ffff8802216a9b80] finish_unfinished at ffffffffa05dd8b0 [reiserfs] #9 [ffff8802216a9cc0] reiserfs_fill_super at ffffffffa05de825 [reiserfs] RIP: 00007f7b9303997a RSP: 00007ffff443c7a8 RFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 00000000000000a5 RBX: ffffffff8144ef12 RCX: 00007f7b932e9ee0 RDX: 00007f7b93d9a400 RSI: 00007f7b93d9a3e0 RDI: 00007f7b93d9a3c0 RBP: 00007f7b93d9a2c0 R8: 00007f7b93d9a550 R9: 0000000000000001 R10: ffffffffc0ed040e R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 000000000000040e R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00000000c0ed040e R15: 00007ffff443ca20 ORIG_RAX: 00000000000000a5 CS: 0033 SS: 002b Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@xxxxxx> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Mike Galbraith <mgalbraith@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/reiserfs/super.c | 12 +++++++++++- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/reiserfs/super.c +++ b/fs/reiserfs/super.c @@ -189,7 +189,15 @@ static int remove_save_link_only(struct static int reiserfs_quota_on_mount(struct super_block *, int); #endif -/* look for uncompleted unlinks and truncates and complete them */ +/* + * Look for uncompleted unlinks and truncates and complete them + * + * Called with superblock write locked.
