Following test case reproduces lockdep warning. Test case: $ mkfs.btrfs -f <dev1> $ btrfstune -S 1 <dev1> $ mount <dev1> <mnt> $ btrfs device add <dev2> <mnt> -f $ umount <mnt> $ mount <dev2> <mnt> $ umount <mnt> The warning claims a possible ABBA deadlock between the threads initiated by [#1] btrfs device add and [#0] the mount.

Two threads [1] and [2] (below) could lead to clone_fs_device(). [1] open_ctree <== mount sprout fs btrfs_read_chunk_tree() mutex_lock(&uuid_mutex) <== global lock read_one_dev() open_seed_devices() clone_fs_devices() <== seed fs_devices mutex_lock(&orig->device_list_mutex) <== seed fs_devices [2] btrfs_init_new_device() <== sprouting mutex_lock(&uuid_mutex); <== global lock btrfs_prepare_sprout() lockdep_assert_held(&uuid_mutex) clone_fs_devices(seed_fs_device) <== seed fs_devices Both of these threads hold uuid_mutex which is sufficient to protect getting the seed device(s) freed while we are trying to clone it for sprouting [2] or mounting a sprout [1] (as above). A mounted seed device can not free/write/replace because it is read-only. An unmounted seed device can be freed by btrfs_free_stale_devices(), but it needs uuid_mutex. So this patch removes the unnecessary device_list_mutex in clone_fs_devices(). And adds a lockdep_assert_held(&uuid_mutex) in clone_fs_devices().

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.
