Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 197/249] bcache: avoid a deadlock in bcache_reboot()
From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>
[ Upstream commit a59ff6ccc2bf2e2934b31bbf734f0bc04b5ec78a ]
It is quite frequently to observe deadlock in bcache_reboot() happens
and hang the system reboot process. The reason is, in bcache_reboot()
when calling bch_cache_set_stop() and bcache_device_stop() the mutex
bch_register_lock is held. But in the process to stop cache set and
bcache device, bch_register_lock will be acquired again. If this mutex
is held here, deadlock will happen inside the stopping process. The
aftermath of the deadlock is, whole system reboot gets hung.
The fix is to avoid holding bch_register_lock for the following loops
in bcache_reboot(),
list_for_each_entry_safe(c, tc, &bch_cache_sets, list)
bch_cache_set_stop(c);
list_for_each_entry_safe(dc, tdc, &uncached_devices, list)
bcache_device_stop(&dc->disk);
A module range variable 'bcache_is_reboot' is added, it sets to true
in bcache_reboot(). In register_bcache(), if bcache_is_reboot is checked
to be true, reject the registration by returning -EBUSY immediately.
