commit 0b207d02bd9ab8dcc31b262ca9f60dbc1822500d upstream.
rbd_dev_refresh() has been holding header_rwsem across header and
parent info read-in unnecessarily for ages. With commit 870611e4877e
("rbd: get snapshot context after exclusive lock is ensured to be
held"), the potential for deadlocks became much more real owning to
a) header_rwsem now nesting inside lock_rwsem and b) rw_semaphores
not allowing new readers after a writer is registered.
For example, assuming that I/O request 1, I/O request 2 and header
read-in request all target the same OSD:
1. I/O request 1 comes in and gets submitted
2. watch error occurs
3. rbd_watch_errcb() takes lock_rwsem for write, clears owner_cid and
releases lock_rwsem
4. after reestablishing the watch, rbd_reregister_watch() calls
rbd_dev_refresh() which takes header_rwsem for write and submits
a header read-in request
5. I/O request 2 comes in: after taking lock_rwsem for read in
__rbd_img_handle_request(), it blocks trying to take header_rwsem
for read in rbd_img_object_requests()
6. another watch error occurs
7. rbd_watch_errcb() blocks trying to take lock_rwsem for write
8. I/O request 1 completion is received by the messenger but can't be
processed because lock_rwsem won't be granted anymore
9. header read-in request completion can't be received, let alone
processed, because the messenger is stranded
Change rbd_dev_refresh() to take header_rwsem only for actually
updating rbd_dev->header. Header and parent info read-in don't need
any locking.

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.
