Subject: [ 44/70] nilfs2: fix deadlock issue between chcp and thaw ioctls
3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@....ntt.co.jp>
commit 572d8b3945a31bee7c40d21556803e4807fd9141 upstream.
An fs-thaw ioctl causes deadlock with a chcp or mkcp -s command:
chcp D ffff88013870f3d0 0 1325 1324 0x00000004
...

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp was
waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode(). This deadlock is 100% reproducible.
This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in
read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(),
whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode. The locking of
sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade
of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive.
This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot
mounts.
