commit 38d11da522aacaa05898c734a1cec86f1e611129 upstream.
Commit fa247089de99 ("dm: requeue IO if mapping table not yet available")
added a detection of whether the mapping table is available in the IO
submission process. If the mapping table is unavailable, it returns
BLK_STS_RESOURCE and requeues the IO.
This can lead to the following deadlock problem:
dm create mount
ioctl(DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD)
ioctl(DM_TABLE_LOAD_CMD)
do_mount
vfs_get_tree
ext4_get_tree
get_tree_bdev
sget_fc
alloc_super
// got &s->s_umount
down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, ...);
ext4_fill_super
ext4_load_super
ext4_read_bh
submit_bio
// submit and wait io end
ioctl(DM_DEV_SUSPEND_CMD)
dev_suspend
do_resume
dm_suspend
__dm_suspend
lock_fs
freeze_bdev
get_active_super
grab_super
// wait for &s->s_umount
down_write(&s->s_umount);
dm_swap_table
__bind
// set md->map(can't get here)
IO will be continuously requeued while holding the lock since mapping
table is NULL. At the same time, mapping table won't be set since the
lock is not available.
Like request-based DM, bio-based DM also has the same problem.
It's not proper to just abort IO if the mapping table not available.
So clear DM_SKIP_LOCKFS_FLAG when the mapping table is NULL, this
allows the DM table to be loaded and the IO submitted upon resume.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
