6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Su Yue <glass.su@xxxxxxxx> commit 2acc59dd88d27ad69b66ded80df16c042b04eeec upstream. When I was testing mongodb over bcachefs with compression, there is a lockdep warning when snapshotting mongodb data volume. $ cat test.sh prog=bcachefs $prog subvolume create /mnt/data $prog subvolume create /mnt/data/snapshots while true;do $prog subvolume snapshot /mnt/data /mnt/data/snapshots/$(date +%s) sleep 1s done $ cat /etc/mongodb.conf systemLog: destination: file logAppend: true path: /mnt/data/mongod.log storage: dbPath: /mnt/data/ lockdep reports: [ 3437.452330] ====================================================== [ 3437.452750] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 3437.453168] 6.7.0-rc7-custom+ #85 Tainted: G E [ 3437.453562] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 3437.453981] bcachefs/35533 is trying to acquire lock: [ 3437.454325] ffffa0a02b2b1418 (sb_writers#10){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: filename_create+0x62/0x190 [ 3437.454875] but task is already holding lock: [ 3437.455268] ffffa0a02b2b10e0 (&type->s_umount_key#48){.+.+}-{3:3}, at: bch2_fs_file_ioctl+0x232/0xc90 [bcachefs] [ 3437.456009] which lock already depends on the new lock.

There is a comment "why do we need this lock?" about the lock coming from commit 42d237320e98 ("bcachefs: Snapshot creation, deletion") The reason is that __bch2_ioctl_subvolume_create() calls sync_inodes_sb() which enforce locked s_umount to writeback all dirty nodes before doing snapshot works. Fix it by read locking s_umount for snapshotting only and unlocking s_umount after sync_inodes_sb().
