[ Upstream commit 57bbeacdbee72a54eb97d56b876cf9c94059fc34 ]
We observed the following deadlock in the stress test under low
memory scenario:
Thread A Thread B
- erofs_shrink_scan
- erofs_try_to_release_workgroup
- erofs_workgroup_try_to_freeze -- A
- z_erofs_do_read_page
- z_erofs_collection_begin
- z_erofs_register_collection
- erofs_insert_workgroup
- xa_lock(&sbi->managed_pslots) -- B
- erofs_workgroup_get
- erofs_wait_on_workgroup_freezed -- A
- xa_erase
- xa_lock(&sbi->managed_pslots) -- B
To fix this, it needs to hold xa_lock before freezing the workgroup
since xarray will be touched then. So let's hold the lock before
accessing each workgroup, just like what we did with the radix tree
before.

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.
