From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f6766ff6afff70e2aaf39e1511e16d471de7c3ae ] We need to check mddev->del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the bdev->bd_mutex before flush workqueue. kernel: [ 154.522645] ====================================================== kernel: [ 154.522647] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected kernel: [ 154.522650] 5.6.0-rc7-lp151.27-default #25 Tainted: G O kernel: [ 154.522651] ------------------------------------------------------ kernel: [ 154.522653] mdadm/2482 is trying to acquire lock: kernel: [ 154.522655] ffff888078529128 ((wq_completion)md_misc){+.+.}, at: flush_workqueue+0x84/0x4b0 kernel: [ 154.522673] kernel: [ 154.522673] but task is already holding lock: kernel: [ 154.522675] ffff88804efa9338 (&bdev->bd_mutex){+.+.}, at: __blkdev_get+0x79/0x590 kernel: [ 154.522691] kernel: [ 154.522691] which lock already depends on the new lock. kernel: [ 154.522691] kernel: [ 154.522694] kernel: [ 154.522694] the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: kernel: [ 154.522696] kernel: [ 154.522696] -> #4 (&bdev->bd_mutex){+.+.}: kernel: [ 154.522704] __mutex_lock+0x87/0x950 kernel: [ 154.522706] __blkdev_get+0x79/0x590 kernel: [ 154.522708] blkdev_get+0x65/0x140 kernel: [ 154.522709] blkdev_get_by_dev+0x2f/0x40 kernel: [ 154.522716] lock_rdev+0x3d/0x90 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522719] md_import_device+0xd6/0x1b0 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522723] new_dev_store+0x15e/0x210 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522728] md_attr_store+0x7a/0xc0 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522732] kernfs_fop_write+0x117/0x1b0 kernel: [ 154.522735] vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0 kernel: [ 154.522737] ksys_write+0xa4/0xe0 kernel: [ 154.522745] do_syscall_64+0x64/0x2b0 kernel: [ 154.522748] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe kernel: [ 154.522749] kernel: [ 154.522749] -> #3 (&mddev->reconfig_mutex){+.+.}: kernel: [ 154.522752] __mutex_lock+0x87/0x950 kernel: [ 154.522756] new_dev_store+0xc9/0x210 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522759] md_attr_store+0x7a/0xc0 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522761] kernfs_fop_write+0x117/0x1b0 kernel: [ 154.522763] vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0 kernel: [ 154.522765] ksys_write+0xa4/0xe0 kernel: [ 154.522767] do_syscall_64+0x64/0x2b0 kernel: [ 154.522769] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe kernel: [ 154.522770] kernel: [ 154.522770] -> #2 (kn->count#253){++++}: kernel: [ 154.522775] __kernfs_remove+0x253/0x2c0 kernel: [ 154.522778] kernfs_remove+0x1f/0x30 kernel: [ 154.522780] kobject_del+0x28/0x60 kernel: [ 154.522783] mddev_delayed_delete+0x24/0x30 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522786] process_one_work+0x2a7/0x5f0 kernel: [ 154.522788] worker_thread+0x2d/0x3d0 kernel: [ 154.522793] kthread+0x117/0x130 kernel: [ 154.522795] ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 kernel: [ 154.522796] kernel: [ 154.522796] -> #1 ((work_completion)(&mddev->del_work)){+.+.}: kernel: [ 154.522800] process_one_work+0x27e/0x5f0 kernel: [ 154.522802] worker_thread+0x2d/0x3d0 kernel: [ 154.522804] kthread+0x117/0x130 kernel: [ 154.522806] ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 kernel: [ 154.522807] kernel: [ 154.522807] -> #0 ((wq_completion)md_misc){+.+.}: kernel: [ 154.522813] __lock_acquire+0x1392/0x1690 kernel: [ 154.522816] lock_acquire+0xb4/0x1a0 kernel: [ 154.522818] flush_workqueue+0xab/0x4b0 kernel: [ 154.522821] md_open+0xb6/0xc0 [md_mod] kernel: [ 154.522823] __blkdev_get+0xea/0x590 kernel: [ 154.522825] blkdev_get+0x65/0x140 kernel: [ 154.522828] do_dentry_open+0x1d1/0x380 kernel: [ 154.522831] path_openat+0x567/0xcc0 kernel: [ 154.522834] do_filp_open+0x9b/0x110 kernel: [ 154.522836] do_sys_openat2+0x201/0x2a0 kernel: [ 154.522838] do_sys_open+0x57/0x80 kernel: [ 154.522840] do_syscall_64+0x64/0x2b0 kernel: [ 154.522842] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe kernel: [ 154.522844] kernel: [ 154.522844] other info that might help us debug this: kernel: [ 154.522844] kernel: [ 154.522846] Chain exists of: kernel: [ 154.522846] (wq_completion)md_misc --> &mddev->reconfig_mutex --> &bdev->bd_mutex kernel: [ 154.522846] kernel: [ 154.522850] Possible unsafe locking scenario: kernel: [ 154.522850] kernel: [ 154.522852] CPU0 CPU1 kernel: [ 154.522853] ---- ---- kernel: [ 154.522854] lock(&bdev->bd_mutex); kernel: [ 154.522856] lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex); kernel: [ 154.522858] lock(&bdev->bd_mutex); kernel: [ 154.522860] lock((wq_completion)md_misc); kernel: [ 154.522861] kernel: [ 154.522861] *** DEADLOCK *** kernel: [ 154.522861] kernel: [ 154.522864] 1 lock held by mdadm/2482: kernel: [ 154.522865] #0: ffff88804efa9338 (&bdev->bd_mutex){+.+.}, at: __blkdev_get+0x79/0x590 kernel: [ 154.522868] kernel: [ 154.522868] stack backtrace: kernel: [ 154.522873] CPU: 1 PID: 2482 Comm: mdadm Tainted: G O 5.6.0-rc7-lp151.27-default #25 kernel: [ 154.522875] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 kernel: [ 154.522878] Call Trace: kernel: [ 154.522881] dump_stack+0x8f/0xcb kernel: [ 154.522884] check_noncircular+0x194/0x1b0 kernel: [ 154.522888] ?

Because all the paths call md_alloc don't hold bdev->bd_mutex, and the flush is necessary to avoid race condition, so leave it as it is.
