6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0cdc6f44e9fdc2d20d720145bf99a39f611f6d61 upstream. In gfs2_fill_super(), when mounting a gfs2 filesystem is interrupted, kthread_create() can return -EINTR. When that happens, we roll back what has already been done and abort the mount. Since commit 62dd0f98a0e5 ("gfs2: Flag a withdraw if init_threads() fails), we are calling gfs2_withdraw_delayed() in gfs2_fill_super(); first via gfs2_make_fs_rw(), then directly. But gfs2_withdraw_delayed() only marks the filesystem as withdrawing and relies on a caller further up the stack to do the actual withdraw, which doesn't exist in the gfs2_fill_super() case. Because the filesystem is marked as withdrawing / withdrawn, function gfs2_lm_unmount() doesn't release the dlm lockspace, so when we try to mount that filesystem again, we get: gfs2: fsid=gohan:gohan0: Trying to join cluster "lock_dlm", "gohan:gohan0" gfs2: fsid=gohan:gohan0: dlm_new_lockspace error -17 Since commit b77b4a4815a9 ("gfs2: Rework freeze / thaw logic"), the deadlock this gfs2_withdraw_delayed() call was supposed to work around cannot occur anymore because freeze_go_callback() won't take the sb->s_umount semaphore unconditionally anymore, so we can get rid of the gfs2_withdraw_delayed() in gfs2_fill_super() entirely.
