From: Joe Thornber Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 15:16:44 +0000 (+0100) Subject: dm cache: fix a lock-inversion X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0596661f0a16d9d69bf1033320e70b6ff52b5e81;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git dm cache: fix a lock-inversion When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this lock order: policy->lock cache_metadata->root_lock When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata lock is held: cache_metadata->root_lock policy->lock Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held (as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to the old save_hint() method). Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths, suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time. But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred elsewhere.
