Subject: [PATCH 4.9 078/191] bcache: fix potential deadlock problem in btree_gc_coalesce

From: Zhiqiang Liu <liuzhiqiang26@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit be23e837333a914df3f24bf0b32e87b0331ab8d1 ]

coccicheck reports:
  drivers/md//bcache/btree.c:1538:1-7: preceding lock on line 1417

In btree_gc_coalesce func, if the coalescing process fails, we will goto
to out_nocoalesce tag directly without releasing new_nodes[i]->write_lock.
Then, it will cause a deadlock when trying to acquire new_nodes[i]->
write_lock for freeing new_nodes[i] before return.

btree_gc_coalesce func details as follows:
	if alloc new_nodes[i] fails:
		goto out_nocoalesce;
	// obtain new_nodes[i]->write_lock
	mutex_lock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock)
	// main coalescing process
	for (i = nodes - 1; i > 0; --i)
		[snipped]
		if coalescing process fails:
			// Here, directly goto out_nocoalesce
			 // tag will cause a deadlock
			goto out_nocoalesce;
		[snipped]
	// release new_nodes[i]->write_lock
	mutex_unlock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock)
	// coalesing succ, return
	return;
out_nocoalesce:
	btree_node_free(new_nodes[i])	// free new_nodes[i]
	// obtain new_nodes[i]->write_lock
	mutex_lock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock);
	// set flag for reuse
	clear_bit(BTREE_NODE_dirty, &ew_nodes[i]->flags);
	// release new_nodes[i]->write_lock
	mutex_unlock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock);

To fix the problem, we add a new tag 'out_unlock_nocoalesce' for
releasing new_nodes[i]->write_lock before out_nocoalesce tag. If
coalescing process fails, we will go to out_unlock_nocoalesce tag
for releasing new_nodes[i]->write_lock before free new_nodes[i] in
out_nocoalesce tag.

(Coly Li helps to clean up commit log format.)
