6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0b83c86b444ab467134b0e618f45ad2216a4973c upstream. The function blk_revalidate_disk_zones() calls the function disk_update_zone_resources() after freezing the device queue. In turn, disk_update_zone_resources() calls queue_limits_start_update() which takes a queue limits mutex lock, resulting in the ordering: q->q_usage_counter check -> q->limits_lock. However, the usual ordering is to always take a queue limit lock before freezing the queue to commit the limits updates, e.g., the code pattern: lim = queue_limits_start_update(q); ... blk_mq_freeze_queue(q); ret = queue_limits_commit_update(q, &lim); blk_mq_unfreeze_queue(q); Thus, blk_revalidate_disk_zones() introduces a potential circular locking dependency deadlock that lockdep sometimes catches with the splat: [ 51.934109] ====================================================== [ 51.935916] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 51.937561] 6.12.0+ #2107 Not tainted [ 51.938648] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 51.940351] kworker/u16:4/157 is trying to acquire lock: [ 51.941805] ffff9fff0aa0bea8 (&q->limits_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: disk_update_zone_resources+0x86/0x170 [ 51.944314] but task is already holding lock: [ 51.945688] ffff9fff0aa0b890 (&q->q_usage_counter(queue)#3){++++}-{0:0}, at: blk_revalidate_disk_zones+0x15f/0x340 [ 51.948527] which lock already depends on the new lock.

In case of revalidation failure, the call to disk_free_zone_resources() in blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is still done with the queue frozen as before.
