There is a deadlock between sm_release and sm_cache_flush_work
which is a work item. The cancel_work_sync in sm_release will
not return until sm_cache_flush_work is finished. If we hold
mutex_lock and use cancel_work_sync to wait the work item to
finish, the work item also requires mutex_lock. As a result,
the sm_release will be blocked forever. The race condition is
shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
sm_release |
mutex_lock(&ftl->mutex) | sm_cache_flush_work
| mutex_lock(&ftl->mutex)
cancel_work_sync | ...
This patch moves del_timer_sync and cancel_work_sync out of
mutex_lock in order to mitigate deadlock.
