Now there is variable bcache_is_reboot to prevent device register or unregister during reboot, it is unncessary to still hold mutex lock bch_register_lock before stopping writeback_rate_update kworker and writeback kthread. And if the stopping kworker or kthread holding bch_register_lock inside their routine (we used to have such problem in writeback thread, thanks to Junhui Wang fixed it), it is very easy to introduce deadlock during reboot/shutdown procedure. Therefore in this patch, the location to acquire bch_register_lock is moved to the location before calling calc_cached_dev_sectors(). Which is later then original location in cached_dev_detach_finish(). Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
