Only call synchronize_rcu_expedited after unlocking struct_mutex to avoid deadlock because the workqueues depend on struct_mutex. >From original patch by Andrea: synchronize_rcu/synchronize_sched/synchronize_rcu_expedited() will hang until its own workqueues are run. The i915 gem workqueues will wait on the struct_mutex to be released. So we cannot wait for a quiescent state using those rcu primitives while holding the struct_mutex or it creates a circular lock dependency resulting in kernel hangs (which is reproducible but goes undetected by lockdep). kswapd0 D 0 700 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x1a5/0x660 ? schedule+0x36/0x80 ? _synchronize_rcu_expedited.constprop.65+0x2ef/0x300 ? wake_up_bit+0x20/0x20 ? rcu_stall_kick_kthreads.part.54+0xc0/0xc0 ? rcu_exp_wait_wake+0x530/0x530 ? i915_gem_shrink+0x34b/0x4b0 ? i915_gem_shrinker_scan+0x7c/0x90 ? i915_gem_shrinker_scan+0x7c/0x90 ? shrink_slab.part.61.constprop.72+0x1c1/0x3a0 ? shrink_zone+0x154/0x160 ? kswapd+0x40a/0x720 ? kthread+0xf4/0x130 ? try_to_free_pages+0x450/0x450 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 ? ret_from_fork+0x23/0x30 plasmashell D 0 4657 4614 0x00000000 Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x1a5/0x660 ? schedule+0x36/0x80 ? schedule_preempt_disabled+0xe/0x10 ? __mutex_lock.isra.4+0x1c9/0x790 ? i915_gem_close_object+0x26/0xc0 ? i915_gem_close_object+0x26/0xc0 ? drm_gem_object_release_handle+0x48/0x90 ? drm_gem_handle_delete+0x50/0x80 ? drm_ioctl+0x1fa/0x420 ? drm_gem_handle_create+0x40/0x40 ? pipe_write+0x391/0x410 ? __vfs_write+0xc6/0x120 ? do_vfs_ioctl+0x8b/0x5d0 ?

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
