4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2bbea6e117357d17842114c65e9a9cf2d13ae8a3 ] when mounting an ISO filesystem sometimes (very rarely) the system hangs because of a race condition between two tasks.

It allocated and configured a super_block struct and owned the write-lock for the super_block->s_umount rwsem. While exclusively owning the s_umount lock, it called sr_block_ioctl and waited to acquire the global sr_mutex lock.

The call to check_disk_change() then saw an event flag indicating a possible media change and tried to flush any cached data for the device. As part of the flush, it tried to acquire the super_block->s_umount lock associated with the cdrom device. This was the same super_block as created and locked by the previous task. The first task acquires the s_umount lock and then the sr_mutex_lock; the second task acquires the sr_mutex_lock and then the s_umount lock. This patch fixes the issue by moving check_disk_change() out of cdrom_open() and let the caller take care of it.
